tenuous. tired. twisted.
tempted.
you fight. you lose.
you give in. you lose.
you run. nowhere.
you freeze. in shame.
he teases you. taunts you. tortures you.
terrifies you.
you learn to.
stifle the tears. numb the pain.
shun the fears. hide the stain.
you hope. you pray. you believe.
you endure.
persevere.
persist.
plod. struggle. crawl.
you remember. your maker.
your cross bearer. your pain taker.
your savior.
he sustains you. holds you. carries you.
because of jesus-
you survived.
you are still overcoming.
