For the Exhausted Mind

For the exhausted mind
that’s fatigued
with the arduous strain of the present.

Stressing a few hours longer…

Just to KEEP UP with itemized plans,
and new commitments.

Yes, for that nice fella
who keeps to herself or himself
during breaks

Because he or she
needs a few minutes of tranquility
just to SORT OUT things
from the inside out.

And for that thoughtful person
who is PURPOSEFUL in actions,

Yet, feels PURPOSELESS
in the grand scheme of things.

To that hardworking man or woman
who’s frantically
on the THIN ICE of swim or sink situation

Whom only a breakthrough in endeavors
would BARELY SUFFICE
for his or her SURVIVAL.

And for that tough man
or woman,

Whose mind
is INVISIBLY BLEEDING
with silent tears…

Yet, a smiley face
you’ve PERFECTLY ADORNED
in confidence makeup today.

To you,
I say you’re NOT ALONE.

Overwhelming it is,

Yet, MEANINGFUL PROGRESS
you’ve made thus far.

You see,
this ISN’T a Blue
or Red pill prescription.

NOT AT ALL.

But a GENTLE PAT
on your shoulder.

A listening ear
to let you know
that you’re HEARD and seen.

AND FOR WHAT ITS WORTH,
Despite your struggles and scars

You’re still Special.
Strong and Badass.

For it takes BOTH the Light and Dark,
the Sunshine and Rainfall
to BEAUTIFULLY BLOOM your Rose.
