They say that time heals all wounds,
and that I'll be stronger one day.
But what they didn't tell me was
how hard it would be
to grow muscles after being weak for so long
I wasn't warned about the weights,
and how heavy they would be to carry,
or about the non stop visions that would haunt me
through every better day.
What they didn't tell me was how much easier carrying things would be
once my muscles grew larger.
Because when the lights get swapped for night,
and winter freezes over everything including me
I can say I carried the weights and grew muscles
strong enough to get through it this time.
