I see the pain etched in your face and hear the strain in your voice. You turn to me for a happy face.

I hold my breath.

You're stuck once more. Your frustration rises. You turn to me for help.

I hold my breath.

The hits keep coming again and again. You turn to me for solutions.

I hold my breath.

You feel overwhelmed and angry. It's all too much. You turn to me for comfort.

I hold my breath.

I have to be strong. I have to be brave. I have to be calm. I have to be rational. I have to be smart. I have to be composed.

I hold my breath.

I'm starting to flood, the ugliest of tears threatening. I'm scared. I'm vulnerable. I need.

I hold my breath.

It would be so easy to just disappear, but I refuse. Life won't best me.

I take a deep breath.

Wow... a very powerful work indeed. Excellent.

So very different from your audio contributions which I was enjoying yesterday.

I admire the diversity of your submissions! Powerful...
