Strength

I accomplished so much

these past few months,

Yet every now and then,

the challenges emerge.

I need to make sure

that I'm strong enough 

To ask for help when needed,

and believe in my strength.

Impending Storm

A new challenge
day after day,

Figuring out how
not to upset the beast,

Navigating through
daily routines

While staying true
to myself.

I exist within
an unpredictable storm,

Its impact threatening
to alter my life,

So I continue to wade
within the routines, and

Hope that salvation
arrives soon.

Paterson (a cinquain)

City

consumed by floods,

blighted by poverty,

yet its people are resilient,

solid.
