Fury

watch me burst
like the fury of a thousand storms

i am stronger
than i give myself credit for

Some simple motivation here. Take advantage of those moments where you feel you can do anything. It didn’t happen very often to me about 1.5 to 2 years ago, but in hindsight, I sure as hell didn’t take them for granted when I did get those moments.

When I had a million thoughts running through my head at night, I didn’t realize how much of a positive outlet writing could be. When I woke up at 6am one morning with my thoughts still running, I opened up my laptop and wrote about 20 poems or anecdotes over an hour. I had never felt that type of energy to do that before.

Seeing that amount of anger or “fury” in my words was cathartic, because it allowed me to see how much I had gone through. It justified to me that at that point in time, I could do more, I just had to start somewhere.

I should mention that a lot of these early poems were written during that time period, but the feelings behind them are not ones that I forget.
