What Is Worth It?

20somethingitch
that itch
is infecting the mind
against the heart.

that itch
is telling the heart
those dreams deceive.

that itch
is the only thing
that does deceive.

that itch
has gotten many over
the years

but it
won't get
me.


reminding you
I know you can fight
for the things that
are worth fighting for.
keep going,
keeping breathing.
I am right beside you.
