1:43 PM on a Busy Tuesday Afternoon

General
True strength isn't about shows of force or displays of dominance.
True strength is in stepping carelessly on a shard of a relationship never quite glimpsed, barely noticeable among the bits and pieces of other things,
In taking a moment as decompressing feelings overcome you amidst the strains of some quiet sonata, plushie hugged to throbbing chest,
And simply being, for a while;
The boiler overheats, once again, and the condensing steam painfully pushes its way out to the surface,
And drips down, in hot streams of flowing water with a hiss here and there.
True strength is in remembering yourself, remembering, be it in the midst of your greatest agony or even at 1:43 PM some busy Tuesday afternoon, that there is so much to continue for,
In pulling out of your bleeding footpaw the shard of glistening reddened memory and hurt and patching up the wound so you can continue just a little bit longer, just a little bit longer.
Just a little bit longer is all I need.
