I can feel the heavy weight of the grief in my stomach
but it is not tearing me apart beneath it
I am strong,
I realize,
in different ways than I know
I can bear this.
it will not scar me anymore.
I can handle this.
it may hurt me now, but there is no damage done that can't be undone with a little love.
I can hold this.
and then, I can let it go, blow it away with my breath like ashes in the wind.
I can feel it, and though it is heavy,
I will be alright.
no more damage,
I am stronger now.
