You Know

You know that you’re only here because you wanted to.

You arrived at your destination one day at a time; you held your breath still

But tried your very best not to slip and not to fall

But you did
You slipped 
and 
you did fall

But you got up with a silenced vigour,
unrestrained tears running down your cheek

Helpless yet hopeful
Bitter yet sweet

You know you made it
You know
You are here not only because you wanted to

But 
you 
endured...
