She knew what must be done
while fear sliced through her
cutting deeply
unwavering was her stance.
she had learned
pain was only temporary
what mattered was
her soul
was in one piece.

Interruption
Pulled from sleep by fears of failure.
Stumbling down a hallway of thought.
Was it lack of effort, stubbornness
or a tunnel of perspective with only one exit,
that lead me to this worried space
awake before the sun has risen?
