I was sad
Momentarily
I was overwhelmed
By sadness so deep
I was lost in it
For a while
Nothing else made sense
I dwelt in that moment
Of sadness
Brought about by my life events
The happenings that I had no control over
I camped in those feelings
And forgot what mattered
I forgot to be grateful
For the things that gave me life
The things that gave me fulfillment
I forgot to count my blessings
And in that moment
I forgot
How far I had come
I forgot
How beautiful my journey has been
I forgot
The bliss that had been my life
I forgot
The silence in the peace
That had been my companion for years
I forgot
How to pray
All I could see
Was my failure
My inevitable new life
A manโs dream being my reality
My dreams put on hold
All I remembered
Was how broken I felt
How disappointment had become my companion
How the puzzle was incomplete
How much I had failed
I forgot to see
The small milestones
The big blessings
The small achievements
The lessons learnt
The light at the end of the tunnel
And in that moment
I almost gave up
I almost gave in to the sadness
I almost let pain win
I almost accepted
My state of mind
Then it dawned on me
That this was the aftermath
And that it was beautiful
It could be beautiful
I realized
How strong I am
And how sadness cannot define my life
Unless I let it!
Love it like itโs beautiful ๐๐ผ๐
Now this is just so beautiful, I love it! The glimmer of hope at the end makes her a Diamond in the rough.
Thank you

Thank you
Beautiful piece, fear and pain are integral parts of self preservation and Self love.
Thank you. I love the perception of ‘glass half full’ rather than ‘glass half empty’
Lovely. Let’s reminisce with gratitude. A better half of the year begins too and we’ll count every blessing.
Amen dear, I love the positivity
