Sheer Strength

The soul is despondent

but not hopeless.

The heart,

pained but not broken.

The one who finds us

through the noise -

worth holding onto

come hell or high water,

for they show us a world

independent of dissatisfaction

and break the cycle

of bad dreams

because we can live without them,

but we don’t want to.

That’s it.

That’s the poem.
