Safe Within
She carried an anger too heavy to hold,
A heart full of hollows, a soul growing cold.
Her joy felt forgotten, her spark swept away,
Alone in the ache at the edge of each day.
She longed for a life both tender and true,
A place to belong, with purpose to pursue.
To feel without falling, to stand without fear,
To soften her sorrow and hold herself dear.
When feelings hit hard, she paused for some space,
Letting stillness surround her with its quiet grace.
She watched each wave, she welcomed the rain,
With each moment passing, peace replaced pain.
Now, kindness comes easy and calm comes fast,
Her present feels wider than all of her past.
She stands in her strength, not needing to win.
She feels what she feels and stays safe within.
She found in the storm what she’d sought all along,
Not a life without feeling, but a heart full and strong.
“Strength isn’t the absence of emotion, it’s the space you give yourself to feel it fully and stay standing.”
“Letting your feelings move through you doesn’t make you fragile, it makes you forceful and free.”
“The pause between feeling and reacting is where your power lives.”
“You are not the waves that crash, you are the steady shore that stays.”
“You don’t need to win the battle with your feelings. You only have to stop fighting.”
“Each time you decide to act with presence, you step toward the life you truly want.”
“You don’t need to outrun the storm. You only need to learn how to stay steady in the rain.”
