“When you’re trying to motivate yourself, appreciate the fact that you’re even thinking about making a change. And as you move forward, allow yourself to be good enough.”
— Alice Domar
i am made up of
the galaxies in my hand
and the stars that fell apart
in a desire
to fix someone else's heart.
i am not exactly broken
but what resides in my heart
are the little heartbreaks
that found their escape in metaphors,
they often make the noises
i am tired of hearing
but the world never tried to listen.
each day comes with the new hope
but mine serves as another hammer
to make the cracks in me wider,
yet somehow i manage to hide them
with the little good i receive.
i see all around,
some stranger trips
on the thresholds of the markets
while others on their own decisions,
everyone is carrying
some sort of heaviness
they choose to confine in their bones.
their pain might be bigger or lesser,
but the thing is every pain hurts.
bruises are countable
but the ache isn’t.
every one goes through something or the other,
different storms prevail in different hearts,
yet we assume that the life was biased
to provide just us with the difficulties.
everyone is fighting,
some are healing
while some are still breaking.
but, what matters is
we all are still moving.
