A lament
I know what awaits me
The pain, the fear
I know the struggle
What it takes to get through here
Don’t make me pretend
Force me to smile
I dread this more than anything
Even if it is worthwhile
I will swallow the pill
And tolerate its taste
I will brace myself for
My next round of pain
Dawn & Dusk
