Always One More

Just one more

one more battle to fight

one more moment to survive

one more doubt to disprove 

one more fear to breathe through
one more nightmare to dream through 

one more voice in my head

to force back into the recesses

where she has no power

at least

where I think she has

less power...

Just one more

step to take

paragraph to write

tear to wipe

impulse to resist

unharmed wrist

way to convince myself

that this is stupid

and will only make things worse

despite thinking nothing

could feel worse

than nothing...

Just one more

surely I can make it

through 

just one more...
