From the cry
May 5, 2009
I cried before I crawled.
I crawled before I stood.
I stood before I walked.
I walked before I ran.
Once I ran, I never stopped
Once I moved forward, I never turned back.
I ran after I walked.
I walked after I stood.
I stood after I crawled.
I crawled after I cried.
Once I stopped I never ran.
Once I turned back I could not move forward.
I cried before I crawled.
I crawled before I stood.
I stood before I walked.
I walked before I ran.
Now I cry only to show the pain.
I crawl in desperation to get up.
I walk before I run, to plan an escape.
And once I start to run, I have moved on.
