A poem…
How is it possible to love rain
When the storms swallow me
making me drown, lost at sea
using up all my strength
Broken and tired and weak
But I remember the promise
After the rain comes sun
And there will always
be a rainbow
A rainbow to bring life
back to a dead heart
joy back to a sorrowful girl
Peace back to a fearful mind
And maybe that will change it all
Change the pain
that starves your soul
Break down all the giant walls
That are holding you back
from being whole
from being the real you
Not pretending like your
alright when you’re not
like your different then you really are
Even if all you have left
are your scars
There is beauty
in all your broken pieces
You're not gone too far
For true happiness will find you,
despite the storm
Let go of past hurt and
all you've been holding inside
Because there is more
More to your journey
That you have strongly traveled on
More to your story
that's not finished writing
more to your mountain
that you have to keep climbing
More to your painting
to become your masterpiece
More to become the flower
you are flourishing into
Maybe a little rain isn't the end,
The end to your happily ever after
But a start that will bring
joy and laughter
The fight to keep staying alive
Because flowers can't survive
without rain, can't blossom
can't grow any stronger
So when the rain starts pouring
You can choose to give up
or rise above it all
It's okay to not be okay
It's okay if you fall
Because you're getting better
Growing and soaring
Flying the best you can
And that's enough
The storm that's crashing down
may be rough
The struggles you're facing
may be too much
But that's what shapes
the person you are
Like the millions of stars
All the thousands of flowers
Each one different than the other
But loved the way they are
For you are loved as you are now
No matter the choices you've made
or the battles you're faced
You are enough, brave, strong
I hope you remember that
and I hope you know
you are a beautiful flower
that will continue to grow.
