At my darkest
I fell in love with my self
As I succumbed to despair
I chose to rise to love me
At my lowest
I opened my inner sanctum
Extended invitations
My heart in my throat
Only to find myself
Embraced and witnessed
By family and community
Storms, hurricanes, and tornados
Tsunamis, earthquakes, and infernos
They, too, shall pass
We shall remain
Our hearts, minds, and souls
Strengthened and affirmed
I love you
