Some days
the light forgets your name.
Doesn’t mean
it’s gone for good.
Even the sun
takes time
to climb the sky.
You don’t have to rise fast.
You don’t have to smile.
You just have to stay,
breathe once,
then once again.
There’s no prize
for pretending.
But there is grace
in holding on
when everything says let go.
You are still here.
And that means:
you are strong enough,
you are seen,
you matter.
You are not alone—
not now,
not ever.

Sometimes, we feel the need, to, appease the world that we put on that, smiling face, and, the masks we put on, because of these, social expexctations, they become, burdensome through time, that it makes us, fell, ill, and we start, experiencing the, psychological difficulties that we can’t, express outward, as the society, shuns, any negative expressions of our, emotions, we end up, swallowing down the negative feelings, and over time, we will, fall, ill.
