I managed it today, <br />To hold myself up, <br />To not fall apart and crumble in grief, <br />My chest ached its never ending pain, <br />I still felt weak and empty, <br />But now it was barable, <br />It was a nightmare you never wake up from, <br />A heart attack you never die or recover from, <br />This pain I felt ate me, <br />From the inside out, <br />Today though, <br />I could breath, <br />I could stumble but not fully walk, <br />My heart still ached but the hole was recovering, <br />I cried few tears, <br />And let someone in, <br />I made an effort today to be a little bit stronger<br /><br />Cierrah Smiles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-little-bit-stronger/
