I know the suffering, the trauma, the grief and the struggle will make me stronger.
But I don’t want to be stronger. I just want these bad days to end.
I want to stop feeling sad.
I want my heart to be unbroken.
I want to smile and laugh without sensing the bitter taste of guilt in my soul.
I want my life to stop seeming meaningless.
I know healing takes time, patience and courage, and that I’m on my way. I know I’m doing good despite all the setbacks.
I know there’s hope even though I’m having trouble finding it.
I know there are millions of stars that shine really bright in the middle of the darkest night.
I know the sun will still rise tomorrow. And it will shine, too. And it will continue its cycle.
I know life goes on.
