When you want to feel the light

but the darkness won’t leave

When you want to feel joy

but the sorrow wont leave

When you want to feel healthy

but the pain wont leave


When the battle feels never ending

but you glimpse victory

It pushes you on to fight a little harder


When confusion is a constant state

but you glimpse clarity

It pushes you on to fight a little harder


When overwhelming sadness has you tightly in its grip

but you glimpse joy

On and on it pushes you

To fight a little harder


When you look at your life, your family, spouse, babies, pets

You realise that joy and light are already all around you


So on the dark, sorrowful, confused days

Maybe try not to fight so hard


Accept that we wouldn’t know light if we didn’t know darkness 


What is joy if we don’t feel sorrow


If we didn’t feel sadness neither would we feel happiness 


Work through the confusion and clarity can be found


Listen to the pain and hear what it tells you

It’s the body saying please

Please listen to me


Stop the fight I say 

Just be

Take regular moments to just really see 🙏🏼
