Cry
let the pain sink in
sharp scrape of a razor edge
you have earned this right
cry
heave your sobs
shaking ravaging sobs
emotions
they will bring you to your knees
cry
you're bleeding
your agony will seep out of your pores
you're bleeding
but you are not broken
raise your head
cry
but you're not afraid
not anymore
because you have felt the pain
the pain they threatened you with
you have felt the pain
and guess what?
you're still standing
