I am safe in the light

Once a world of gray

Now splitting open in neon colors

A lantern on a cold winter’s night

I tend to overthink a lot,

My beautiful but flawed weakness

My demons whisper “You’re a failure, you messed up again”

I whisper back No! I am powerful and persistent in this light,

This light bringing me back to mindfulness,

The light bringing me back to family

This light bringing me back to safety

But even when I have to face it all on my own,

I will rise up over and over

Because you’ve seen me do it before,

and I’ll repeat the cycle
