TO MY TIRED GIRL...

I see you, love — worn out and small, Feeling like you're up against a wall. The world’s been loud, your heart feels thin, Like you're losing more than you’re keeping in. You say you're tired — and I get it, I do, This life can be heavy, even for the strong like you. But don’t let the world make you forget You’re still rising, even if you're upset. You’re not weak for wanting rest, For craving soft days, or second best. But hear me when I say this part — You’re anything but “just” a girl; you’re art. It’s okay to pause, to breathe, to cry, To question your path and wonder why. But don’t you dare forget your flame, You were never meant to stay the same. Take your time, love — the world can wait, Let healing come at its own rate. And if you fall, I’ll help you stand — Not with judgment, just my hand. So don’t quit now — not on yourself, not yet… You’ve got so much more in you, don’t forget. ©️ Nikkoe
