For a brief moment
Everything is calm
No nightmares
No self-torment
Over what might have been
I savor each second
Of this tranquillity
Not knowing when it will pass
I forget
Everything that has occurred
And enjoy feeling normal
Once more.
As the minutes pass
Hours days weeks
This feeling strengthens
Until I know
I can overcome
The obstacles that surely face me
I have before and I will again
Even if I must take it
Second by second.
