I hurt too

"let's examine these words."
yes- let's lay them on a table,
cut them open and diagnose nothing.
autopsying when you know that
there's nothing to find

you are
tread(in)g through
dream-filled waters
and although beautiful
they can seem deeply
frustrating at (time)s

but (you) have the power within

(learn) to laugh when it gets heavy
you are only served the kind of tides
(that) you are strong enough to conquer

no wave thrown (you)r way
could ever submerge the
delicate warrior you (have)
(become) today

flow with (the) Universe
you will never be shifted
the wrong (way)

Of all the natural elements, the most savage one has always been, the element of surprise...

I see the earth change
I still stay the same

I saw the tree outside grow green again
I'm feeling weak

filled with doubt
filled with regret
filled with new insecurities

the earth wakes
falling asleep
it's raining

everything is changing

I can't adapt to anything
