I am fairly certain
the uncertainty will pass, that
the anxiety masking my days
   will wash away when
   the time is right, or 
   my spirit will feel more
than it does right now.
We all live under the cloud
of self-judgement. Some days 
   it is thicker than
      we ever imagined, while we
wait for the day it will dissipate.
       We are not what
       we often feel.
