a poem for my younger self; a poem for when you feel hopeless

The day is bleak
The sun just feels hot
Not summery at all

Day or night
Nothing ever changes
It's just hot and cold

Hot water burns on my skin
And cold aches and sores 
It's been a few years now, that youve been living abroad

Yasi, there comes one day
Where you have work to do and money to make
And more friends than fingers in ur hands that you adore

The sun now shines light
And the cold settles and soothes you nerves
There are no tears in your soul

For you had cried them out
And held space
Even in the darkest room, now you never feel alone

As you are writing this poem
More years down the track
Remnants of what you are feeling, still washes up ashore

But the chambers in your heart now beats different
For they love to sing
And their chantings recited door to door
