Weak days

We all need them

When our strength isn’t there

When we don’t feel any care

From here, up or downstairs

In an Earthly place where being strong 24/7 is emphasized

Where looking detached is expected as the norm

Human bots being prepared for the real things

No vulnerability is allowed to be seen through our gold armor

Try as one might

Sometimes, the desire to be & look strong isn’t there

If the strength is non-existent

If there’s no strong water coming out of the well

To recharge us into being at 100% again

Until the strength returns

I prefer embracing my weakness and hibernate

Instead of putting on a strong facade

The fake it till you make it strategy

I’ll make it when my soul tells me that I did

Until then

Cherishing my weak days is a must

In the recovery process… I must trust

Thanks for reading!
