I Am From Poetry

These last several months have been pretty earth-shattering in my world, to say the least. I have so many words I want to say to the world but when I come to sit down to write I realize I have none. Life has definitely left me speechless but today I was finally able to let all the stress and worries leave me and just write. If I did anything successful today it would be that, so here it is...


I am from a life where nurses become your best friends and the whirl of IV pumps lull you to sleep.
From a series of never-ending hours in hospital waiting rooms and cold, sterile hallways.

I am from brown eyes that haven't seen far more heartbreak than one could imagine and tear-stained pillows that have received soul-crushing news.

I am from a scared teenage girl whose heart rises each morning in search of a better day.

I am from a belief in which I know I will never fight alone.
From a place where we put all our faith in the Big Man upstairs, from the taste of victory upon finding joy amidst the pain and from a life where laughter cures all.

I am from a kick-ass support team where hope is the only thing that matters and a family who isn't going down without a fight thanks to a Mom who never gives up.

I am from the moments in which I realize the most amazing gift of all is this thing we call life.
