Hey Readers!

I wanted to personify the struggles that life can give us as well as the most memorable moments. I wrote this based on life as duality: good and bad. It can be hard, but I truly hope that this inspires someone throughout whatever difficulties they're facing right now. Always take some time to yourself and hydrate. Sending good vibes to those that need it most.

I'm not saying it's always ok

I have to turn my blues into reds

Just to get by all day

I'm not saying it's the worst

I have to make a little into a lot

Just to feel reassured

What I'm saying is

Life has a way of making

Gray into yellow

And yellow into gray

It trips me up

And then lifts me back into place

It keeps you from one thing

To bring you to something else

What I'm saying is

My world can be right-side up,

Colors billowing in perfect ribbons

And in a second, nothing makes sense

The colors turn into monochrome

In a world upside-down I forgot was home

I'm not saying it's always hard

Feeling everything rough turn soft,

The texture causing my spirit to warm

I'm not saying it's always easy,

The once soft fabrics turn brittle

And they crumble before my eyes

Life can be complexion

And prize all in one

Here, thought, I tell you

It can be done

I know that it takes work

And time on its own

But in these word of comfort

I hope you find a sweet home

What is inside you burns a fire

Called spirit

It is fueled by something

Called passion

Whatever calls to you to keep this flame aglow

Hold on to it tightly and never let it go

Life has its unexpected way

Of keeping us moving

Or keeping us at bay

Through it all

There is inside of you

The strength of a thousand lightning bolts

I'm not kidding, it's true

To feel sad or down is natural

But don't stay there

Your dreams await you

I am sending out a word, that I hope finds you well

Life, I mean, is a light that can never truly be quelled
