My journey
In the quiet corners of coffee shops,
where the aroma of roasted beans mingles
with the weight of unspoken words,
I search a place to breathe.
But shadows linger, reminders of past struggles,
each sip a cautious step,
navigating the source of memories,
where laughter once echoed, now replaced
by whispers of unease.
I carry my story like a shield,
learning to communicate through the haze,
to bridge gaps of misunderstanding
with honest words.
In the chaos of conflict, I seek clarity,
a way to mend the frayed edges,
to transform tension into understanding,
finding strength in vulnerability.
As I wander through new spaces,
I long for acceptance,
a community that sees beyond the surface,
where my journey is honored,
and my struggles are met with compassion.
to find beauty in the mess,
and to rise, stronger each day,
with hope lighting the path ahead.
