When saltwater fills your lungs 

it is hard to see what everyone else becomes

it is hard to see the stars glittering above

The darkness the absence of light not the absence of love 

Even in the dark that hope still glittered 

Even with all things considered 

Not unwanted, unloved, or unsafe 

Not drowning and gasping with each crashing wave

 

Hopelessness is often used to constitute as something permanant 

Something more significant

Something raw and broken 

like it isnt just a token

A pass for what is to come 

When all fear will seem like a pathetic sum 

When a laugh will feel like the center of your world 

Not the uneasy underworld

not the thing you began to fear 

Someday you learn to hear 

 

Someday you will learn to see your beauty in each mountains curve

the beauty noone but you can perserve 

Through your light

How hard you fight 

through how much kindness you spread 

making sure that fire is always fed 

So you can keep on saying when it gets too much 

"You are Enough, You are Enough, You are Enough" 

Until you learn to believe it.
