Giraffe

I feel better than before

Though still sad and low;

I may no longer act quite so sore

That does not mean life is all go.

When you start to smile again

People decide; you’re now fine.

They forget the struggle in your brain

Is more like a vine.

You are definitely healing

But by no means better;

There’s no longer a ceiling

You’re becoming a go-getter.

You still have days feeling flat

Struggle to keep your smile alive.

You reach out for a chat

No longer hiding; you can thrive.

It’s ok to struggle and feel down

It’s ok to smile and laugh

Have fun and straighten your crown

Stand tall, find your inner giraffe.
