Rebirth

I have looked at the face of death

Stared at hopelessness in the face

And danced with despair

It’s okay for my heart to feel tired

It’s okay for it to shatter into pieces

It’s okay for me to lose direction and know I am lost

It’s okay, it’s normal

Somehow, the pain is a rebirth

A rebirth of a heart that is too tired to feel

A rebirth of a mind, too exhausted to think

Why I care so much for something that is already dying is beyond me
