Self-Achievement

Deep Rivers
Deep rivers Unsearched depths Buried grief Tears unwept Rise to the surface Bubbling pain Erupt like fountains Misery lived again A tsunami approaches Coming for my heart I brace myself To be blown apart But as the waves hit Instead, I find My roots are strengthened My spirit refined Pain is not the end No,… Continue reading
