Struggle

grief & resilience free verse grief edge

Conflict without the victory clause.

Conflict frays the fabric faster than the repair kit arrives. Trust breaches. Wills collide. The room becomes a contest no one remembers agreeing to enter.

Struggle is not a seminar. It is the day after the argument when both people are still there and the problem is not solved.

Victory is removed from the title. What remains is endurance: learning what the fight cost, whether the lesson was worth the invoice.

Hope persists as fact, not finale.

The fabric is still frayed at the seam.
