What Lifts Us
When darkness closes in, strength does not have to look heroic. Sometimes it is simply the thing we hold onto long enough to rise toward the light.
Here, strength is not given, it’s built, rep by rep, word by word. These pieces sharpen courage and quiet the voice that says you can’t. Read them like marching orders to your own heart.
Poems that hand you the match and point to the dark.
When darkness closes in, strength does not have to look heroic. Sometimes it is simply the thing we hold onto long enough to rise toward the light.
In self-doubt’s coliseum, the battle is never with the world. It’s with the voice inside that says you aren’t ready.
The question that lingers when you realize your life is being shaped by everything you’re afraid to do.
What it feels like to finally walk away from a place that never valued what you brought to it.
That moment when staying comfortable feels easier than moving. And why comfort is sometimes the most dangerous place to live.
