The Capacity of Our Hearts. Honorable Mention in Pride Under Pressure Challenge.

Dream
As I slip into slumber I will pleasant thoughts To greatly outnumber The ugly fears that linger. Tiny tethers dangle Threads to another realm

Cards
We hold each other's hands, But keep our cards close to our chests. I am the queen of diamonds, You are the king of clubs.

There's a ringing in my ears One that brings me to tears Forcing me to confront my fears Like a lamb before the shears Let me stand in front of peers
