From Darkness to Joy

Day 28 is almost over, and I finally penned a poem. I must admit that my creativity is waning. I hope I make it 3 more days. Today's prompt is Split in Two. Once again, I have made it personal, addressing my mental health struggles. I hope my words make sense.

Like a tree felled

by an iron axe,

so I fell

into overwhelming

darkness.

Split in two,

I tried to hide

behind a mask.

Broken, despairing;

I cried for help.

As a seed planted

in fertile soil,

I was given a chance

to thrive.

Flourishing under

loving care,

I grew in stature.

Now I cry

for joy.
