I see you, darling.
Holding on to your hope with both hands.
Feeling exhausted with all the turbulence.
But not letting go.
Shedding and bending
and growing and trying. So much trying.
And you are right,
your old life is a bad fit for you now.
There is more for you out there.
There is more for you inside too.
Keep holding on to your hope.
The world needs more of that right now.
Wow! That is an awesome piece. I really like it. It's very moving. I love the flow and the word choice. I am so glad I stumbled onto it. Thank you.
