Beacon
I endure pain, agony, and despair.
I actively engage in hard work.
Nothing in life is easy.
I fail.
I have setbacks.
I struggle to move forward.
I cry, a lot.
I get angry.
I hurt.
I have insecurities.
I have doubts.
And now sometimes even paranoia. How can we trust?
Though I dig deep within, and I pull myself up to the surface.
It is then, at the surface, that I force myself to acknowledge the power, the strength, the perseverance, and VALUE in what is deserving.
I deserve unconditional love, kindness, support, and respect.
Just for being the Human I am.
I hold that up as a beacon.
And anyone who cannot provide these basic needs is not permitted in my life.
Period.
You, too, are leaps and bounds from where you were.
Endure. Engage.
Dig deep within, hold her up, and let your light shine like a beacon.
To Her: she knows who she is.
