You’ll be ok somehow

When the going gets tough... keep going...

By ShelleyPublished 6 years ago 1 min read
Original artwork by me

What do u do...?

When u feel like ur whole world has been shaken & everything you’ve ever known isn’t the same anymore?

Ur not so sure how to start, or if u even can, pull ur broken self up off that cold floor.

It makes sense to just keep on moving... that’s what they say, right? ...so u do... u keep on moving ...

keep strumming along,

humming, not singing, that same old song,

In hopes that some day, some how, someone will recognize that tune you’ve been humming since u don’t know when.

They’ll know it alright, & they’ll start humming it right back at u...then, maybe just maybe, ur heart can feel at home again.

Like magic everything seems clearer & the world isn’t such an ugly place.

And what is this upturned line now drawn across your face?!

U don’t know when, cause u didn’t even notice, but somehow the world stopped shaking too... would u look at that now!

The air smells sweet & a deep breath brings u peace & u know ur gonna be ok, somehow.

About the Creator

I’m creative in many ways, as you will see I’m sure. I enjoy simple beauty & oddities... beauty is everywhere. I aim to project positivity and happiness, but I’m not above the darkness either... we all have to go thru it. Keep your head up.
