Here, you will find peace...
And maybe more.
Here, you will find peace
and maybe more.
Stories of loss that do not move me
still have a place
in my battered heart.
How do you speak of war
when you've lost everything?
My mother speaks of death
as inanimate, lifeless.
But I know that death
was a seductress that
stole my father away.
To explain pain would be to rip
the bandage over your heart
and let the wound bleed afresh.
To keep quiet would be
to bear it all alone
and maybe die of sepsis.
But I know that there is hope
even in the darkest of times.
There is always light
even in the deepest of night.
And so I will keep writing
even when my words are weak.
I will keep speaking
even when my voice is hoarse.
I will keep fighting
even when I feel like giving up.
Because I know that one day
I will find peace.
And maybe more.
