Poem
To all those who feel they cannot withstand an additional period in the storm's chaos, please don't lose hope or give up the fight. Our whole lives are a testimony to the strength we have inside. Our resilience increases with each stab of the knife, and it's the very thing that keeps us alive. This is not the first occasion you felt you could not survive another night; now those moments are just memories; we keep alive. You could not recall every detail correctly, no matter how hard you try. Frequently, experiences fade as the days go by. Don't give more power to the forces outside; instead, give the fire back to the child that lives inside. You are special; your light illuminates everything. Never pick between your mind and body; if you treat them right and sync them with your soul, the three become one, filling the hole. Then 'complete' becomes the new norm. Never silence your voice, we all should feel heard. Follow your intuition, not the herd. The way to your higher self is through the purest, truest parts of you. Giving some attention to the inner you, in alternative words, the realest version, is the very essence of the soul. Diverse, often overlooked and underappreciated rarity that works as a telephone, a connection to the spiritual world all around us. Be yourself without worrying about others' ridicule or judgment. There is but one opinion that matters, and it's not theirs. The one who sits in the chair but chooses not to pay attention, learns nor attempts to understand, loses again and again. Nothing is ever simple. If it was, you wouldn't be giving your potential the respect it deserves. Expecting what is out of your control is an empty road heading straight for a generation of disappointments. After all, the particular one you can adjust, or do the work, is you. Only speak what you know. If you're in the academy–keep your head in the books. Consider both benefits and negative consequences, whether you utter a sentence or respond in vain, unless you have an intention to meet with the devil and/or achieve being censored by noon. This may confuse you; do I judge or is freedom and individuals doing what individually feels right, the way I live my life? Take a deep breath while closing your eyes, drown out any noise invading your psyche, and pause for a moment. This space is your sanctuary. Free the tension from your shoulder. You are safe here. I promise. Exhale, allowing the weight to vanish. Allow your muscles a moment to recuperate. The ache you feel is a way of communicating. They're tired and need a break. Look around you, you made it.; I'm so proud of you, soak in the fresh new light of day. I hope you acknowledge the power of your mind. Hold on to the sense of inner strength. You are the religion, two sides of a coin, we are one.
