 Journal Entry} an infant will fall

2-17-22

An infant stands before falling again

Dropping doses of old resentment 

But running on the gas of new freedom

An infant screams in agony

Refusing to be ignored, 

they will be nursed

, raised and shaped into an idea

Before falling again, another time

A new collection of bruises

They seemed to be stronger as a child

Now as an adolescent,

But with waves of torture and long-awaited

Struggle, they will sway to the side, 

gather their strength 

And stand on their own, 

soon they can walk.

Walking, they join the world, they make a life., 

But even then, still walking as they fall, victim

Being stabbed in the back, 

frozen in the winter and

Eaten, gobbled up like a carrot in the spring.

The adult that was once an adolescent, 

an adolescent

that once was a toddler and a

 toddler that was once an infant

Will fly on doses of toxic waste

 and run on centuries worth of

Stored adrenaline, they should keep walking 

and they should enjoy the journey.
