24 days left
The knowledge that not everything can bloom at once
A time of indecision, restless clouds, and soft sunshine
A realization of how much darkness we've survived
A time of regrowth, of the forgotten reawakening
A season of hope, of trying even if you don't succeed

Updating Yourself is Really Good!

Updating comes in many shapes and sizes. Remember that in something new, our old self always guides us.

Maybe to remember who we were, so we get to celebrate more of who we are. A unique tale of becoming; a journey that will take us far.

And we will never be the same person twice. That’s why updating is needed, so that we can peacefully, and permanently, say our goodbyes.

I Dream of a Place

Amidst shadows deep, I silently roam,

Yearning to escape this weary home.

In whispers of night, I softly implore,

To flee this place, to seek something more.

The weight of existence, heavy to bear,

I long for solace, a breath of fresh air.

Echoes of sorrow, a constant refrain,

In this realm of despair, I feel constrained.

Beyond these walls, a world unknown,

Where heartache fades and seeds are sown.

To vanish like mist, without a trace,

Leaving behind this suffocating place.

But still, I linger, hesitant to depart,

Bound by fear, shackled to my heart.

Yet in the depths of my soul's plea,

I dream of a place where I can be free.#MightyPoets

Is It Just Me?

I'm tired of being everyone's counselor.

I'm tired of being everyone's lover.

I'm tired of being everyone's confidant.

Who is my counselor? Lover? Confidant?

Who is the person who drops everything when I need them to listen?

to love me?

to know all my secrets?

Where is my pure happiness?

Where is my future security?

Maybe... it is only me.

Stripes & Stars of Rare Disease by Melanie R. #RareDisease #ChronicFatigue #MitochondrialDisease #IdiopathicIntracranialHypertension #ChronicPain #InsideTheMighty

Stripes & Stars of Rare Disease
By Melanie R.

Our faith as our anchor.
Our hope’s guiding light!

Amidst all the struggle,
we share in our plight.

Bringing awareness;
to comfort and guide.

To face rare disease
locked arms-
side-by-side.

A journey set forth,
uneven terrain.

Traveling on suffering,
forged purpose in pain.

A chorus of voices
uniting in song-
ring out together,
but battles go on…

Our trials and triumphs,
resilience and strength,
brought us all here
on rare disease day!

So join us in chorus,
wear stripes to support-
our healing begins,
it starts in our heart.

For stripes shine like stars,
by stripes we are healed,
Restoral by scars
Our voices they hear.

Remember Rare Disease Day is February 29th, 2024!
We share in the suffering and the glory!
Stay strong and God bless you all in a mighty, mighty way!

Dear self-worth - one not so good poem but from 🩷

Dearest self-worth
Where did you go?
I am here again in this row
Trying to find you on this earth

Nowhere, nowhere I can't see you
Will you at least help me guide through?
Here we go again in this wheel
"NO" is something I can't feel

Being toxic to me once again
When will I get better, when?
Derest self-worth please come back
I feel like terrible wreck

Please help me see the right
So that I don't fall into fright
Let me praise my true self
And appreciate my inner wealth

Mount Calvary by Melanie R.

Mount Calvary

They don’t mind to see me-
my blood and body thinned.
My bruises of the beatings,
physical weakness I’ve been in.
Wrapped up in all their doings,
scoffing-
walking by.
Obscured to all the suffering,
the price –
the prayers I’ve cried.

I’m up here on my cross,
I wish that they could see,
the moments that I suffer through the pain…the misery.
Have they come to mock me?
Rather than reprieve?
Do they like to see me suffer?,
with every breath I breathe?

Said if I was anointed,
meander my way down-
If I’m a chosen one of God,
put on my rightful crown.
They plundered and they pilfered,
all that I had left…
and only came to watch me die
atop this mountain cliff!!

No broken bones
but wounds to bear.
Water and blood,
A scar formed there.
A symbol of true suffering
brought down upon The Mighty King.

It’s done –
it has been finished!
His story that will reign!
If we share in of His suffering,
our glory’s shared in pain.

He kept His scars
hands, feet, and side
to prove His love,
His sacrifice.

To all my friends,
it won’t be long.
Put on your cross,
and just hold strong!
Trust Jesus has the victory,
saved since that day on Calvary!

It’s Only in your Head…

I always hate hearing someone tell me this. Of course it is in my head! But why should that make it any less real?? #Depression #MentalHealth #Anxiety #MightyPoets #Poetry #PanicAttacks
