I wrote this poem after watching “Your Lie in April” anime and bawling my eyes out haha.

I’m living

So even if anxiety surges in tsunamis: trapping, swaying, spinning, pulsing and shipwrecking you ashore a lonely island for a time

Or sorrow like a millstone around your heart, dragging you, slowing you down

Or dread so thick, clouds the way forward you can only see your hands

I’m living

Where others waste away in bed

Where some lie still forevermore, Where others shrink and shrink until they are no more

Where all go one day, sooner or later, I keep dear loved ones within memory, until next we meet

I’m living

my purpose written on my heart: Love God, Love others as yourself- my values, shining a beacon through the fog, Nothing physically, this is the mind

The weighty millstone, rusting, crumbling into a pile

Test the waters, The tempest comes and goes; But my ship is safe and through waves it saunters; was it only just highs and lows?

I’m living, and clawing back life

happiness bubbles, Contentment with my lot, God guide my paths, I trust in you, To take me to my plots
