you go anyway
even if you don't want to
and your stomach churns
and your feet feel like lead
and your head throbs
and your heart aches

you go anyway
because you deserve
to be cared for
and listened to
and validated
and loved

you put one foot in front of the other
you do the next right thing
and you go
because you have a beautiful core
that is shining and trying
to mend your broken heart

And you will heal in time
So you go
