I Can

I didn't think I could handle looking at the wound.

But I did.

Because I had to.

I didn't think I could handle seeing someone I love in pain.

But I did.

Because I have to.

I didn't think I could handle the blood.

But I did.

Because I have to.

I didn't think I could handle packing a wound.

But I did.

Because I have to.

I didn't think I could handle a whole new lifestyle.

But I can.

Because I have to.

I didn't think I could be this stressed for this long.

But I can.

Because I have to.

I didn't think life would go on.

But it will.

Because it has to.
