I will get through this
what if I don’t

I am strong
what if it is not enough

I will persevere
what if it doesn’t matter

I am fine
no I am not

This will not define me
but is has changed me

This will pass
no it won’t

This will get better
what if it doesn’t

This will make you stronger
I feel broken

You are so strong
I am scared

You still have your hair
I am in pain

You don’t need to worry
I will never feel safe

You are fine
no I am not
