Wasn't Easy
WAS NOT EASY
I glance at these walls
As I am flooded by thoughts
Thoughts that make me think of the worst
I could've drowned if I stayed there
I'm fixing myself because I understand sometimes I am the problem too
I tried closing my eyes to things I didn't want to see
But I couldn't close my heart to things I didn't want to feel
Holding on to torments that haunted me
Teared me
Making every breath a battle
Sometimes I'd done wonder if life will ever be what I daydream
Instead of what I lead
I had to search for the light within
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Pick up every piece
Be one with peace
As a seed that was trying to find a place
In stormy rains , that washed away the soil
I had to grow and rise up in the rocky soil
Now I stand tall and proud
Knowing I am what I wanted to become
The best version of myself
Alone I stand , with no fear and discouragement
Without my heart and mind being at war
It wasn't easy but I made it
