campfire

in god we trust

can that be enough

i wanna tell you im proud of you

the ways you battled

and the ways you grew

i’m proud of your independence

you let go of your dependants

you cut off your own arms

to save yourself

sinking ships

you held on 

there wasn’t enough room for me

i can’t be mad

with the way you grieve

i’m proud that you swam to shore

that you realized there was so much more

then the anger of your mother

the arrogance of your brother

in god i trust

i’ll let that be enough

 

for now.
