Lit
From beneath the surface
there is a sudden shift
fear spreads throughout your body
as your mind begins to drift
There goes your motivation
so long to faith and hope
your thoughts begin to spiral
searching for a way to cope
You feel disoriented
exhausted and depressed
going through the motions
disabled by your stress
You decide to take a moment
to breathe and clear the drama
then enlightened by the process
you understand the trauma
Discomfort is a blessing
forcing you to grow
reminding you of all you have
when you forget to know
From a place of gratitude
belief replaces doubt
inspiring you to reignite
instead of burning out
