Last couple of weeks were tough,

My body said enough is enough.

When you do so much for so long, 

suddenly have nothing to do seems wrong.

Different emotions in you start shaping,

the ones from which all this time you’ve been escaping.

And you realize you always had tears inside of you,

just hadn’t been letting them through.

Part of you worries if you’ll stay sane,

but then you see so much beauty in pain.

Try to stay with it a bit longer,

it won’t break you but make you stronger.

Trees who rarely feel wind gets ripped out in a stronger storm,

and life cannot always stay calm.

Thunderstorms come and go, they never stay,

inhale and move slowly, day by day.

Stop erasing parts of yourself, even the pain,

every part of you is beautiful just the same.

Go with all ups and downs, don’t give up too early,

because darling - life is meant to be a journey.
