I’m Grateful
I'm gratefulFor every heartbreak I suffered,For every text that went ignored,For every call that went unpicked.Because had that not been,It would never have brought me to you.I'm gratefulFor every stroke of bad luck,For every rainy day suffered,For every obstacle encountered.Because had that not been,It would never have brought me to you.I'm gratefulFor every opportunity missed,For [...]

29
As I turn twenty-nine,How do I feel?Excited, anxious or just calm?The truth is I don't know.Do I look backAt the 28 that was,Or in a way wasn't in 2020?The truth is I don't know.Do I look forwardLike every other year,Like every other saying?The truth is I don't know.What I do know is this.I am alive.I [...]
Hero Enough
He wasn't the stereotypical hero --The kind to make her swoon,The kind to make her croon.Yet somehow he stuck.He made her smile.He wasn't the knight in shining armour --The protector of the realm,The one who could overwhelm.Yet anyhow he shone.He always showed up.If anything, he was an anti-hero.Not the one hoped for by mothers.Not the [...]
