When Your Lawyer Delivers Devastating News

7/10/2017

 
I don't believe people when they tell me
I am strong
Because I know at any minute
My heart could fold like an origami
bird and fly away
It feels thin and tearable,
Wrinkled from the uncountable times
when someone took it in hands
and crumpled it to nothing

My body, a bag
of bones and tendons,
Could collapse if you breathe close enough
It is so hollow, heavy, used

Everything is tender, and if my spirit isn't
yet broken
There's still time

“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”-Albert Camus
