Every day is better than the day before.
20/06/2021
A glowing gem
Of a brand-new day
And everything that could possibly happen
Is happening somewhere
A shining diamond
Of a treasured friend
Lightens up the landscape of my soul
A golden light
As love unravels
Leaving a void to be filled
With fresh adoration
I don’t have to ask
For the joy that is
Every day easier than the last
I don’t have to ask
For the joy that is
My family to be proud
As I forge on
The black sheep
The wayward soul
The wild one
And the prodigal son…
Is turning a corner
Is finally come good
And nothing is truly perfect
So accept all that is
Be stoic and brave
When the hardship strikes
The universe will remember you
As one who fought and won
The toughest battles
Of your generation
Of your society
Be a rock
Stand tall
And when the demons come knocking
Answer with strength and purpose
That your life was never forfeit
A fortress inside
That nothing can defeat

I’ve been through some tough times and I think it’s made me strong and resilient in a way that only serious hardship can. If I think about how my mind works and the determination I have, compared to who I was in my early twenties I never would have thought I would be the kind of person I am today. There is still much work to be done but I nurse a little pride for where I am in life.
Everyday gets better than the day before.
Your vision and determination are strong and because of that…life cannot beat you.
