Believe Change Curse Myself
Your anger, your sorrow, your fear, are okay to feel through, no matter how big it feels now.
SCHUYLER

Anger Fear Feeling Sorrow Yourself
I sit on the bare floor, leave my palms unturned, and watch relief pool into one hand, and uncertainty in the next. I will try not to lean more one way or another, but let them hold each other as company.

Company Floor Hands Leaving Myself Uncertain
I’ll craft a haven that that cradles every joy and sorrow, but doesn’t hold them to keep.
