tenacity.

survival of the fittest

is a phrase they always use

and while it's true i survived

i am battle-scarred 

broken

dogeared, tired

a crumpled velveteen kitten

whose nose was rubbed off

long ago

I have a wash machine, a needle and thread and half a dozen ibuprofen....that will work until we can go shopping and get to a spa....the tone of this one is tired and overwhelmed makes me sad reading it really. We all have our battle wounds, its the battles waged and lost in the mind that are the important ones....thought provoking write kitten.
