Sunshine with the Overcast of Rainy Thoughts — New Poems

Sunshine breaks through the overcast,
 Of rainy thoughts that never seemed to pass.
 Stepping forward, closer with each stride,
 To a goal my life was destined to find.
 Years of striving, now within my reach,
 A dream unfolding, just like they’d teach.
 I can finally gather receipts, feel seen,
 A worth not just from others, but from what’s been.
 From the blood that brought me into this light,
 I’ll hear their voices, proud and bright.
 At family events, no longer unseen,
 But celebrated, embraced—my place between.
 No more shadows, just the sun’s warm glow,
 As I rise, as I grow,
 And finally hear what I’ve always longed to feel:
 That I’m worth it, that I’m real.
 Mindset is contagious with the conception of their wordsmith,
 No longer fighting for peace or loot,
 But thriving in new stories, to them, I’m proof.
