Resilience

In honor of National Mental Health Month and the mind-state of the quarantined world right now, I want to share a poem by Alex Elle that I think is very appropriate. 

Remember you are strong, you will get through this. We are resilient. Enjoy. And keep dancing FORWARD!


_____
“resilience” by Alex Elle 

look at you 
still standing
after being
knocked down
and thrown out. 

look at you
still growing
after being 
picked and plucked
and prodded out of
your home.

look at you
still dancing
and singing
after being
defeated and
disassembled.

look at you, love
still here and hopeful
after it all.
