have a sip of tea - life at first sleep

life at first sleep.

it's been having sleepless nights,

trying to stay strong,

but not every battle

is meant to be fought.

it wasn't built to bleed

for each scar;

some seams are meant

to stay apart.

but rebirth doesn't rise

from holding too tight;

it is okay to rest,

it is okay to fall,

it is okay to be still,

to dim the light;

sometimes, strength is knowing

when to surrender the fight;

for silence can be louder

than any crown of speech,

& still, it dares

to take up space.

joy doesn't need to come with a fight,

nor be traded for war,

nor bought at a price.

mẹ raised a queen with a fractured tiara,

& ba raised a king with a battered crown.

but they didn't raised no quitter nor chó dại;
