I am more stretch marks than the skin, more growth than shame.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am more stretch marks than the skin, more growth than shame.
SHELBY ENSIGNDrowning in grey days rising up into blue, I will choose to love myself in all colors.
SHELBY ENSIGNThrough the haze, I am journeying. To the light, I am clinging.
SHELBY ENSIGNI’ve stopped trying to make sense of the sunset. There is beauty in resting, there is strength in letting go.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am enough for me.
SHELBY ENSIGNWherever you are let life find you.
SHELBY ENSIGNI will make my mental health a priority because I deserve to know peace.
SHELBY ENSIGNI will breathe because I must, but I will smile because I’m living.
SHELBY ENSIGNAnd although the strands of your soul feel weary today, your worth remains the same – you are graceful amidst pain.
SHELBY ENSIGNI have to believe that ahead of me are entire adventures waiting to be lived, for the sun hasn’t abandoned me yet.
SHELBY ENSIGNAnd when the sun smiles its brightest, I become a golden soul.
SHELBY ENSIGNIn an open sky, I stand alone and for once, that does not scare me.
SHELBY ENSIGNWill I ever rise above the shackles of my mundane reality? I know I could fly as high as dreams.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am giving the present the opportunity to hold just as much joy as the past.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am only confined by the walls I allow.
SHELBY ENSIGNOn the days that I drown deep in the rain, I must remember that it, too, will help me grow closer to the sun.
SHELBY ENSIGN
