i’m proud of you for what you’ve accomplished:
turning rainstorms into grey skies
and the deep abyss into a shallow pit.
for pulling yourself out from under the heavy boulders—
that which felt like an eternity.
however, here you are
now. go about and collect the fragments
of what you once were.
and continue to trudge
through all that holds you from absolution
leaving your vindictive strife behind.
no matter the outcome, you did what you could.
