#23

Sometimes you go through it alone

The downfall

The crashing waves

The landslide

The tears

The breathing

The clouds

The hate

The doubt

And the healing.

Sometimes it’s only you who sees the effort

Sometimes you have to be proud of yourself

For making it out to the other side.

Sometimes all they’ll ever see are your puffy eyes and tangled hairs.

But you know how hard you fought to keep afloat.

So even if no one is there to hold you

Pull you up

Or appreciate your efforts,

Know that you are strong,

And a wonder to behold.
