I step out, into the pouring rain. What am I if not alive?
SHELBY ENSIGNI step out, into the pouring rain. What am I if not alive?
SHELBY ENSIGNAnd although the strands of your soul feel weary today, your worth remains the same – you are graceful amidst pain.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am choosing to create space in my mind for peace.
SHELBY ENSIGNWildflowers need water, so I too must not chase away the rain.
SHELBY ENSIGNDrowning in grey days rising up into blue, I will choose to love myself in all colors.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am welcoming a new phase of life with confidence in my potential to progress in spite of my fears.
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 ENSIGNThough thunder clouds hover tight like a cage, the sun never stops rising on the ones who chase healing.
SHELBY ENSIGNWill I ever rise above the shackles of my mundane reality? I know I could fly as high as dreams.
SHELBY ENSIGNI will breathe because I must, but I will smile because I’m living.
SHELBY ENSIGNIn an open sky, I stand alone and for once, that does not scare me.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am enough for me.
SHELBY ENSIGNEmbrace your own reality.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am capable of loving myself the way I deserve.
SHELBY ENSIGNNature has become a part of me when I am lifeless, I go to her – she is life.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am more stretch marks than the skin, more growth than shame.
SHELBY ENSIGN
