You have finally arrived.
On the sole of your feet I can see the imprints from each step
steps marked with grit and resilience;
You have come a long way.
Remember –
how close you were to sinking?
On some days
you prayed for the sea
to swallow you whole.
For your body
to cement into mountain stone.
On other days you thought
if you loved him thoroughly
it will pull you out of that blackness.
He was
a game you played with your own mind.
A dream that you held unto with so much anticipation.
You had the certainty
that this time it is real.
Like a child that make believes her meager world.
I say hold on to your dreams, one by one
it is the only solid part of what remained.
Now, you have finally arrived
to yourself.
Home.
your feet are scarred with perseverance.
You’ve made it out
stronger
Begin to understand
how blessed you are.
