Folashade _Foxy's Diary:
"Unclear but Hopeful"
I once was a flame, burning bright and bold
But now I'm a whisper, a shadow growing cold
I worked so hard, day and night
But the fruits of my labor, a distant, fading light
Responsibility weighed me down
A burden to bear, with no reprieve to be found
Earning a living, just a fraction of the test
The real challenge lies in the responsibilities I've repressed
I shut my eyes to the truth, and lost my way
A lucrative job, gone, and I'm back to square one, each day
A year has passed, and I'm still in this place
Trying to find my footing, but it's a constant, uphill pace
Some friends stood by me, like angels in disguise
Providing shelter, food, and a shoulder to cry
It's a blessing to have them, a grace that I adore
But it's hard to depend on others, when I want to stand tall once more
The struggles are real, the worries, they won't cease
Transportation, medication, accommodation, a constant release
I'm alone in my fears, with no escape in sight
Fading away, into the darkness of night
But still I hold on, to the hope in my heart
A glimmer of light, that will guide me to a brand new start
I'll take small steps forward, and face each new day
And though I'm not getting any younger, I'll find a way
To rise above the struggles, to shine like the morning sun
To stand tall, and proud, and have my life won
I'll hold on to hope, and never let it go
And though I'm fading away, I'll rise again, and glow.
