Some days I am okay, and some days I am not but always, I am worth every struggle.
SHELBY ENSIGNSome days I am okay, and some days I am not but always, I am worth every struggle.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am learning to hold to hopeful light.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am breathing in light when light is present. I am choosing to let joy in.
SHELBY ENSIGNI will breathe because I must, but I will smile because I’m living.
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 ENSIGNThrough the haze, I am journeying. To the light, I am clinging.
SHELBY ENSIGNIn an open sky, I stand alone and for once, that does not scare me.
SHELBY ENSIGNAnd when the sun smiles its brightest, I become a golden soul.
SHELBY ENSIGNWildflowers need water, so I too must not chase away the rain.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am only confined by the walls I allow.
SHELBY ENSIGNDrowning in grey days rising up into blue, I will choose to love myself in all colors.
SHELBY ENSIGNMore often than I am not, all I need is the rise of my own lungs – I am already complete.
SHELBY ENSIGNMaybe self-care is choosing to be your own kind of lovely.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am giving the present the opportunity to hold just as much joy as the past.
SHELBY ENSIGNAnd although the strands of your soul feel weary today, your worth remains the same – you are graceful amidst pain.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am more stretch marks than the skin, more growth than shame.
