Living Proof
Rose gold centerfold
Passed through in a teary haze
Patience paid off, sweet girl
With time enough to savor the weight
Lifted like soaked clothes
From a shivering frame
And held open for the sun to refresh
Fragile, finally able to rest
Look at you
You're living proof
Cold years leading up
Clawing at padlocked gates
No effortless incantation
Every month you dug your nails
Deeper and deeper in
Until they finally gave way
Never in your interest
These endurance tests
Instead of guiding through
The doctors second guess
Which path is right for you?
Like you're nothing less
Than living proof
Baby they may not stop trying
To beat you blue
But now you've got something
That nobody can ever
Take from you
You're living proof
