"you will"

You will feel warm tears

brush against your cheek

as you cry against the warmth of your bed-

you will face the day

and put on clothes like armor

but a part of you will always wonder

and if it isn’t worth it?

The weight of gravity

and the heavy air

will always push you down

and you will sometimes resist,

sometimes you will not,

but you will read about the wonders of the world

and want to see the stars and see the deserts

and you will find people who understand

what you thought no one could

and you will fight until the days run out

and then you will calmly settle for what you got

and think

maybe it wasn’t that bad.
