Only for Today

It isn’t too much to spare a moment for ourselves.

I would really appreciate it if you could please stay on the page 
for at least 30 seconds to help me support my work as per Medium's new changes.

sometimes
things can be
so overwhelming
life keeps
unfolding
that it’ll never
slows down or stops
life happens
in many unexpected ways
amidst the chaos of stress
don’t let all that get to you

maybe it's time
to take a step back
from all these
frenzy of madness
take a pause
take a break
just to catch
your breath

pick up
that paintbrush
if you’ve always
wanted to paint
the canvas has been there
awaiting but forgotten
when life’s been too busy
now is the time
let your creativity grow
let the colors flow
