Not Alone..
You are not alone
I know at times, in those quiet corners it may seem at the four walls are closing
The doors are locked tightly and you wonder if you’ll ever escape this place
As dark as it may seem, I promise you that you are not alone
You might not see it but I want you to take a pause.
I want you to feel it.
I want you to feel the energy of those that care for you.
They may nat be with you physically but..
The time that you spent
The memories you’ve created
The space in which they take up in your mind, in your heart
That is them with you in this time and whatever time it maybe
If it’s a time of joy
If it’s a time of sadness
If it’s a time of confusion, whatever the time they are there.
I’m there..
I know right now it seems like the time is endless
As though you’ve been trying forever and ever
You wonder where does the ever ends
Reminiscent of a prayer you always get to Amen
But where is yours
He’s been faithful
You’ve been strong
You have been doing your due diligence.
Yes, it seems time is standing still in your world
While everyone else is just breezing by
And honestly they might be breezing and that is OK
Because everyone has their our own story
Everyone has their own path
You might think one’s path was easier than the other
Is it though
Do we ever really know what everyone goes through
Regardless of how close
Do you really share every single intimate thought
The backlash, the negative, the talking down of ourselves
I know I don’t
So I’ve learned not to take my journey for granted
I have learned that the grass isn’t always greener,
I’ve learned that grass comes in a multitude of colors
Sometimes those clichés are true,
I’ve also learned that maybe my journey was meant to be more difficult
For a reason I may never understand
I accept that
I make peace
I continue to learn
I grow
So whatever your journey
Whatever your past
Whenever you find yourself trapped in your own space, in your own mind, maybe even in your own heart,
I want you to pause, I want you to just inhale - exhale and look in the mirror
I want you to know, they’re right next to you
Someone is with you, regardless of who you believe what you believe you are not alone in this world,
Never ever be afraid to reach out because you never know who’s willing to take the jump with you.
