One day, I’ll be free of anxiety
and my breath won’t tremble like thin glass.
The clock will tick without accusation,
and silence will not hum with threat.

I will walk barefoot through morning grass,
each blade forgiving my hesitations.
The sky will open — not to test me,
but to invite me to stay awhile.

No thought will chase another thought
like frightened birds across my chest.
The world will still be loud, uncertain,
but I will no longer shrink from it.

I’ll greet the day with steady hands,
not clenched, not pleading — just open.
And when the wind moves through me,
I’ll finally move with it, not against.

That day is not here yet,
but it waits — patient, soft,
like sunlight behind a long cloud,
ready to pour itself through.

    Sometimes the wait can be agonizing. Better to be laid back and hopeful, as you’ve laid out here so well. Conga rats!

Thank you for reading, liking, and commenting to my posts.  It is very appreciated.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Manyofus1980@gmail.com

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
