Challenge of the Week CX
A Time of Triumph. Perhaps it's a small victory, an itch scratched. Perhaps it's the conclusion to a long and arduous struggle. Write about triumph. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
Flowerboy

Take That Anxiety

"Listen close." I say

With only myself to hear.

"There is more than this."

Breathing can be a struggle,

My hands ache and clench,

Everything could-- No, would end.

And yet I reach out

To the world beyond my door,

And I do not die.

"Listen close." I say

With all of the world to hear.

"Despite you, I live."
