It sneaks into our minds when we’re trying something new, and it wiggles into our guts when we have no control over a situation.

frail forms braced
against prevailing winds
that remind us
once again
of all that
never should
have been. | ['Poetry', 'Resilience', 'Poetry On Medium', 'Humanity', 'Life'] |
