One day at a time
Is what she was told
One foot in front of another
Is what’s she heard
But what if she couldn’t even do that
Even the bare minimum
Is harder than steel and stone
She’s broken
And lost
Happy at times
But depressed nun the less
I’m ok
She said
Im fine
She said blinking back tears
As it tears through her heart
But the same phrase repeats freely
You have it hard but others have it harder
Bottles it up
Keep it inside
She didn’t know how to cope
She didn’t wear a cape
Or a symbolic sign
But she had a face
And plastered a smile
Even on the worst days
