Sometimes Life hits HARD too fast to react too strong to take too much to bear and I have to stop and rest When I do I realize I wasn't ready Life was worse than I thought it'd be

It's so easy to become jaded to assume Life will always be this bad

Sometimes Life surprises me it's soft and calming, gentle and kind, warm and loving Life is looking out for me I realize Life was better than I thought it'd be

It's so hard to take Life one day at a time But I still have those moments of kindness to remind me

That Life isn't always as bad As I thought it'd be

#Poetry #MyBeautifulSky #Life #Hope

I'm afraid of the storm clouds The chaos The darkness The uncertainty

But for the sake of the sun Her light Her love Her hope

I won't let that fear Stop me

#Poetry #Hope #Fear #Nature

I step into the sunlight Finally free of the clouds I'm no longer suffering I can take a breath of fresh air Now, I can look up at the sky And know that I share her beauty I shed the skin of a man so I can shine with the heart of a woman

Fear follows me Nipping at my heels whispering all the reasons to run away and hide

It’s easy to run away It’s hard to stand up and speak Finding shelter feels safer Even when it makes you feel weak

Even when in darkness it’s always possible to say “It’s gonna be alright” and look forward to better days

One Year Ago

I found myself at my lowest point Barely keeping my head above water My brain screaming to give up But I held my head up long enough to take out my tools and fix it

Walking everywhere with a rain cloud overhead Struggling everyday just to get out of bed

It’s hard to begin a journey when you don’t know how it ends you don’t know if it’s possible it could all be a waste of time

They shoved you to the ground Joining the voices in your head always mocking and jeering saying “You can’t do this”
