loosen the buttons and undo my skirt
stare at myself in the mirror
pick me apart piece by piece
sorrow decrease
pressure release
i put in work
did more than called upon more than deserved
when it was over did I wind up hurt?
yes.
but it taught me before a decision ask this question first
who am I living for?
is this my limit?
can I endure some more?
chances are given
question existing
so deep
