This feeling cannot last forever

All in life must come and go

I wrote this poem in 2020 - the year I decided to start turning my life around. I still roll it around in my mind when I need to feel strong.

I hope it helps you feel strong too! May your 2023 be full of love 💝.

This is: 2020.

Portrait of me and my cat by Markus Mjaaland

I am no victim of my brain
Nor subject solely to my pain
For fear is fickle, hurt the same
Invite them and they will not stay

This feeling cannot last forever
All in life must come and go
As bonds are made so are they severed
Aches move as waters ebb and flow

No! 

I am not afraid of change 
With open thoughts I'll map new truths
I'll change my tracks, seek open plains
This poem here will be my proof

Do what you've done get what you've got
Life's ways will teach you plenty
Think what you'll learn from this bad lot
Hindsight is: 2020
