Feeling like I’m trapped in eternal winter
frozen and numb
barely carrying on
wondering when the thaw of spring will come
when will it be my time to shine
when will I feel something more
than just exhausted and depressed all the time
when will the warmth and longer days of summer arrive
that make me come alive
how can I bloom and thrive
when barren trees and empty gardens surround me
when I feel tied down
by my responsibilities
but I have no choice
but to struggle on
in this season
with not much energy
and not much time
until it is my day
for the brown twigs of my dreams
to fully revive
with bright, new green leaves
completely revitalized.
Until then though,
I choose to keep trying.
I choose to keep rising.

This is for any others that are in a trying, busy season of life but still doing what they can to make time for their passions. I see you, I understand, and I am in the thick of it as well. But, our dreams are worth fighting for so don’t give up!
