I’ve decided I’m no longer going

to suffer

I’m done with pain

I’m over grief

I’ve suffered enough

I take all of the agony

The child bruised

for cracking eggs on the kitchen linoleum

haphazard and fumbling

attempting to self-navigate

The yearn to be heard

I listen to you now

I refuse to sink

The ocean has no depth

it’s endless

But I won’t let my heartache

toil endlessly

I get to decide

how I perceive the world

with whom perceives this world

with me

I get to wear tinted glasses

in all shades of pink

I refuse to suffer.

I simply endure.
