That you were worthy all along

Wilderness

I can’t help but sometimes drown,

When nobody is around.

I stare at myself,

How I look more tired each day.

But sometimes I smile

And can’t help but be happy with myself.

Please don’t forget: It’s okay to cry.

When you’re mad, got disrespected,

Don’t you think you’re allowed to finally cry?

It’s time I embrace myself,

To discover my wilderness,

That has been screaming,

To finally let itself have meaning.

Courage

It takes time to be brave,

I know that now.

Everything that I always gave,

Has formed me to be the human I am:

This is me.

With every little darkness consuming me,

I stand here in front of you and can confidently say:

It takes a lot of time to even begin to heal, that’s something I guarantee.

Nothing is linear, everything comes and goes,

As you cannot help but watch, to see the progress just go,

Seemingly deleting itself out of your existence,

Where you cannot keep calm anymore or breathe..

What does it take to be brave?

When everything comes and goes in waves,

You’ll still be standing there,

Here where I am with you.

Bravery takes time,

And finally I can make it mine.
