I'm okay

    I'm ok, I can do this, I can't let the tears flow.  No matter how much I feel like giving up I have to hold strong.  Too much I've lived through to let one man who doesn't love me, break me.
    I gather all the strength I can and hold my head high.  If I can live through my father not wanting me in his life, I can live through this.  If I'm still alive today after losing Aaron I can make it through this day.  If my heart can be broken time and time again and be here today then this time is no different.
    My heart has hardened and has become harder and harder to break.  But somehow a liquid known as love always erodes the stone away covering and protecting my heart.  I may say it didn't hurt when he no longer loved me but that would be a lie. I'm hurt more than ever before.
    Each hurt a different kind but all have hurt enough to whip my heart into a cowering position.  No matter who hurt me or how it happened I've made it to the next stage in my life.  So here I stand ready for that next step.
