five drops of bitterness

The first five drops are the most bitter.
Then, you recognize them and you know the bitter taste
is to give comfort.
Then, you take them day by day -at the same time, please -
and you know they will save you.
They will do what you did not
because you cannot do it by yourself,
not because you were not capable,
and then, they are the same drops of who brought you into the world
and if they did not hurt him, then, their protection is unsinkable.
And you think that now you have no more excuses
to become who you are.
