PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It's okay if your skin feels electric,

if the walls shift like fractured mirrors,

and you stumble in the dark spaces of yourself.

It's okay if fear snarls at your feet,

if your heart drums too loud for quiet,

and the weight of everything presses

so hard you forget how to stand.

Let the storm rip through you.

Let it howl your doubts into the night.

These wounds are not final,

they are only birthmarks of a greater becoming.

It's okay.

Let the world bruise you.

Let the ache of it teach you

how to be soft where you've always been steel,

how to break where you've only been solid stone.

Feel the quake in your chest,

the shiver in your bones.

You are not fragile.

You are fire learning its own heat.

And when the darkness shifts

and you are left with your breath,

with the quiet after the storm,

you'll find,

you have always been more

than the breaking,

more than the fall.

It's okay.

The ground beneath you trembles

because you are rising.
