Poetry & Art

it’s okay

by Esther Gonzales • May 5, 2021

sometimes

your light may

grow dim-

and that is okay.

you’ve been shining

for others

for so long,

shouldering

their burdens

and walking

with them

through their struggles.

it’s okay

if you need rest too.

I am a New Jersey based poet who aspires to share my story through poetry and prose focused on faith and my journey with depression. I have overcome many obstacles and I believe everyone has a story to tell, even if they haven't found the words yet. I hope my words can inspire others to believe in their purpose and to find strength to climb the next mountain.
