Losing it
Doesn’t mean
You’ve lost it.
Sometimes,
letting go
Is how you find
The strength to hold on.
There is power
In knowing
Where your edges lie,
A quiet freedom
In being only human.
Now, unburdened,
You are free
To try,
To stumble,
And to rise.
When you mess up,
It’s no big deal.
The world keeps spinning,
And so can you.
Persevere.
Let each mistake
Be a gentle teacher,
Each setback
A stepping stone.
You are not lost—
You are learning
How to begin
Again.

If we take care
of the moments,
the years will
take care of
themselves.
