Steady Legs
By A.T.Myrie
Take a deep breath
Let air seep in
Filling you with oxygen
Sustaining the life within
Now, let it out
Along with toxins and pain
Exhale the monster
That slumbers inside veins
You are not alone
But your demons you can’t share
The burden is just yours
And no one really wants it,
Even if they truly care
Be brave in your skin
Let steady legs keep
You from toppling
Into the blackness that is there
Find your bravery
And wear it like a shield
Every breath is a victory
As it means you can heal
Not perfectly, as that is an illusion
But with jagged imperfections
Sewn together to take you forth
On steady legs that refuse to buckle
No matter the obstacle, they plant firm
Showing you your hidden courage
That continues to fight and burn
