every time you fall
for Vocal's In Eclipse Challenge
Every time you fall, I
Catch my breath and then remember to give you what you need
Lightening your load or making life easier for you doesn't challenge you
Instinctively you recognize what drives you to improve, you're always
Pushing yourself, becoming better, the best imaginable version --
Someone worthy of self-respect and admiration, someone ever
Evolving -- competitor, rival, equal, you relish eclipsing your own records because you can

The Longest Minute
A minute. Sixty seconds to say goodbye. That’s all the time that I had left with him as the needle slid into his leg. I stared into his drooping eyes, looked at the blood-tainted saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth. They said that this was the best thing that we could do for him, a last kind act for a best friend…but if that were the case, then why did my heart feel so heavy?

This was so relatable! Great acrostic with a powerful point! Both loved and was challenged by the “L” line
