POEM || Is it okay to stumble?

Hello Royalty.

It feels great to write to you again today.

Lately, I have been having some thoughts on what it feels like to just run into your shell or stay in isolation because things have not been going the way you think they should or because you feel like you’re not meeting the expectations of others or that of yourself. Well, believe you me, I understand exactly what that feels like because yours truly feels that way sometimes.

But here’s the magic about it, what do we do when we feel all incapacitated? Do we fight, fly or freeze? Do you rise like air? Flee like animals in danger? Or stay still like a picture of crossed legs?

I put this poem together and I hope you find answers and solace in it:

Maybe it’s okay to stumble,

Maybe it’s okay to feel inadequate,

Maybe it’s okay to tumble,

And view the dreams as less ornate.

Sometimes,

Only in these times of inadequacy

Do we really find courage

Only when we feel low

Do we realise the highest possibilities

Only when we step into our shells

Do we know that we can break out

But I plead,

Don’t drown,

My darling,

Don’t drown.

You were not even born for the waters,

You were born for the skies.

Goodbye Royalty,

With Overflowing Love,

Alexandra Zion.
