Statement

Always feeling as if I'm searching for something
Someone
To fill a space
Vast change cause realization
Internalization

How to fill the void?
I discovered
In me as well

Standing alone
Head held high
Knowing that the things that happen to me do not define who I am

Maintaining my strength
Remembering the women I come from
Remembering who I am

I stand to make the statement
Whole within myself...
Void no longer existing
Standing alone again

Finally Whole.

Sometimes there’s gonna be days like this
Sometimes it’s gonna be rain like this
Sometimes you gonna feel pain like this
Sometimes you gotta work hard for it
