there will be the days
where getting out of bed
will be your biggest victory.
celebrate that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
because sometimes the sun rays
will feel way too far ahead,
but you are still worthy
of acknowledging where you’re at.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
some days your smile
might take a little longer
to fall upon your face,
but that’s okay.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and your heart may need a while
but you’re only getting stronger.
just please keep at your own pace,
we all need to rest anyway.
