Connecting the Dots

This strange emotion, despite its enthralling

shrouds me, making duties enormous,

I recollect my darkest days.

I did, however, make it past the difficult days.

This day, too, will come to an end.

because someone out there is a friend,

who recognises the worth within my soul,

who serves as an anchor when I feel less full.

It's okay not to have a continual heart of joy.

It's okay to be a little off-kilter.

not at everyone's beck and call.

Within you, you have enough strength and bravery to face this raging tide.

Normalcy lingers on terrible days.

but how I rise is what makes me happy.

Today, I choose to love myself.

knowing that I've always filled my space.

This tumultuous period will pass.

leaving lessons and growth in its lane.
