Beginning of Trouble's Journey

In my writing, I have always talked about struggles, while journaling or composing a poem or even in the expression of art. There are struggles, but so many wonderful pieces mixed in and I think most of us know that we tend to focus on the negative pieces.  What can and what do we learn from them? I want to express the joy and lessons within those chapters of life.

In a recent event, I had the realization of an internal struggle and knowing my worth. There have been moments throughout the years when I questioned why I am here and what does the universe have planned for me.  I was born to a fifteen year old momma. She stayed in this world for fifty-seven years. I’ve questioned the events that had to take place for me to be here and what that put on her. My heart breaks for her and what it must have been like to be so young.

First, thank you to my mother for her struggles and giving me life. I am thankful for being here in this world. I endeavor to explore this part of my life and the struggles behind it and the acceptance of myself.

I welcome you and thank you for being here along on my journey.

Mother

She is peace and chaos

She is love and turmoil

She is hugs and tears

A package of strength and weakness

Calming waves

Fresh air

She is a heart just by existence

She is hope

She is life
