The Best Version of Yours

pause and listen

inhale

exhale

every breath you take

is a little promise 

to get back up

after failure 

to build courage

after broken heart

to find peace 

after tears

every breath you take

is a little promise

to move on

to live

to be the best

version

of yourself

Strength

strength 

is not found 

in loud shout

of brave words

strength

is not found

in lullaby of

grand promises

strength

is in tears

of heartbreak

that try to

heal

strength

is in shivering hands,

fearful,

as they fight to

face the storms

strength is

every one of you

still

fighting
