You’re Gonna Be A-OK

Even in the toughest times, don’t lose hope; being broken only means you’re experiencing something new and groundbreaking inside of you.

I’m stronger than I know.
Yes,
Because I believe so,
And some people have also told me so.
But sometimes,
The belief escapes me.

Do you ever get the same feeling? Like…I can’t possibly be stronger than that!
Well, you’re stronger than you know.
And you’re gonna be OK.
Yes, you.

Sometimes,
I feel spent,
All cried out,
Oblivious of how strong I am.
The encouragement is that I can still find those words,
That counts for something, right?
I can say them over and over until I believe them again.

Sometimes,
I’m deep down in the trenches.
Clawing my way back up,
Until my nails fall off and my fingers bleed.
The energy I usually have when lifting weights while working out seems to have escaped me.
But I still master energy and keep digging
