ARISE
Take patterns from the sun
Are you going to run?
The day may seem dark...
But! How can I ignite that spark?
As the clouds cover the sun
So does my hope go down
In despair, I begin to cry
As the rain pours from the sky
Flooded with emotions
As the rain fills the oceans
Enraged, hurt, panicking...
As the lightning strikes and the thunder sounds cracking
Then suddenly, a calm
As I remember a Psalm
The storm is over!
And I asked myself, "Why did I even bother?"
A ray of sunlight
Beams are so bright
A rainbow of hope
Explodes as a kaleidoscope
As I begin to smile
I asked myself, "Why did you cry?"
A voice replied...
Because you are human, my child...
I'm now beaming as the sunlight
Never to give up my fight
Because there is hope
Even when I think I can't cope...

Emotions
Sometimes, you don't need to dry your tears; just let them flow. Let your tears flow and flood the room if it must. Crying doesn't hurt you. It releases those suppressed emotions. Cry if you must... We have become so comfortable with our dysfunctions that we suppress our emotions and think it's the new normal. Jesus wept, so why do we pretend like it's not okay to cry? Crying is one of the purest forms of expression. Crying doesn't make you weak. It shows your strength in acknowledging your emotions. A nonchalant attitude is now accepted as the new norm, but some of us are walking around with baggage full of emotions that are weighing heavily on our mental health. Our mental health is often overlooked because we don't want to address what's affecting us. Some of us have baggage, but we say, "This is who I am; take me or leave me," but is it really who we are, or have we just gotten accustomed to our dysfunction and expect everyone else to tap dance or adjust to it though it's unhealthy? 🤔 There is an increase in depression worldwide, but we are just accepting it as the norm. Cry if you must, unpack if you must, but don't drown yourself. Growth requires acknowledgment. Psalm 120:1
