Not all who fall are broken.

Not all who fall are broken.
Sometimes you don’t know until you pick yourself back up,
That you weren't falling at all.
You were flying.

Becoming stronger as the waves of life crash against you relentlessly.
No end in sight,
But you can feel it getting easier to stand tall under the weight of the world.
Your hardships have toned your muscles and your tolerance to the point of getting used to the pain.

Until one day when it's not there anymore.
The storm got worse but you built your fort stronger,
And you survived.

You had been swimming for so long,
with your demons trying to drown you,
that the weight of them on your back made you the stronger swimmer.
The day came when you pushed them of,
And they sunk to the bottom.

Because all of the power of those demons were inside your head,
You are bigger than them.
Literally, if they can fit inside of your head they are small enough to conquer.
You can squish them like a bug.
Just give it time.

The mental workout you got through everyday,
Is making you stronger, faster, better.

So no, you are not falling.
Because you will get out of it and when you do,
You won't be on the floor,
You will be light, and free and powerful.
You’ll be flying. You just have to take it a little longer.
So you can build your endurance,
And take off.
