It gets easier.
The days grow slowly
from their shadows
and light begins to
touch your heart again.
The flowers spring
beneath your feet,
and instead of wondering
why you weren’t enough,
you begin to realize
that you are more
than how the darkness
made you feel.
You are brighter,
sturdier, more human.
You can choose,
and you choose light,
for you are as beautiful as the moon
reflecting the sun,
shining.
Even in the darkness.
Resilient.
