There will be one day

You'll wake up late

And will find the peace

That you so hard crave.

*

Your refreshed soul

(and renewed mind)

Stumped by new feels

Lacking all past pain.

*

You'll smile at last

Knowing in the end:

Change Brings Real Fear

And you can't pretend.

*

But change is also at odds

When the will is there

When you tell yourself:

I Made Death Aware.

*

Think ahead and be alert

You will be surprised

You'll get back your spot where:

Self-Love Was Seized.

    Blessed are the mornings when we wake up in a good mood and with good intentions. Then self-love grows, and the world seems more beautiful. Regardless of whether changes come and we get a little afraid, we must always remain optimistic. I like the lens through which you see things — as if you examine all their angles.:)

    This is so powerful! Your future self already thanks you for hanging in. Self-love isn’t gone, just waiting for your return like an old friend with open arms. ✨

  • "I made death aware" is the one 😊
