When Life Overwhelms

When life overwhelms you -
truly, exhaustingly,
overwhelms your mind
and maybe even your heart -
there is only one thing you can do:
and the tears may be streaming,
and the blood could be bleeding,
and your body is aching,
and your heart may be pounding,
and you can't seem to see more than six
or seven inches in front of your face,
but as long as one foot
is in front of the other
and you take that fledgling step
everything should end up alright.
Shouldn't it?
