Many will ask:
why you walk into oblivion with eyes wide open?
why you refused seeing light amidst darkness?
They will tell you: Barthemeus' lamp dimmed
but he never slipped in his years of brightness.
They will open their backs to show you numerous scars,
they will show wells their tears filled.
Some will tell you:
they are with you in this struggle,
that they feel the aches, where it pinches in your shoe
that they have worn shoes filled with stinging bees.
Believe me. You're not alone.
Not because I feel what you experience,
not because I've been stinged severally by life.
But because, you matter. You're unique.
You're beautiful in all your colours.
I want you to know
no matter how long the night,
no matter how long this rain;
morning will come with joy
& the sun will rise again.
Truely inspiring!!
