Life has hit you with so many highs and lows
And I'm sure it's been harder than anyone knows
It can be tough to accept emotions that are uncomfortable or intense
After all, laughter is the best defense
And I know you're strong
You've kept it together for so long
You smile for the camera but your pain still shows
You light up the world and your following grows
I think some of us assume a smile in a photo means you're 100% okay
But I know, behind your smile, it's not always that way
You said being a creator feels surreal to you
That it's so lonely and we don't have a clue
When I think of you, I pray for nothing but good
And ask that you are comforted like your bestie would
Is it odd that I feel protective of you?
Because I see the parallels in what we've gone through
I truly believe this season will end
And wish you peace. Love, your internet friend
About the Creator
KAT Hunt
I grew up in a small town in Oregon. In 2nd grade (circa 1984), I was entered into a poetry contest. I won 3rd place and was awarded a small check and a certificate signed by President George Bush Sr. I have been writing ever since.
Talented Black creators spotlight: Catherine Nyomenda (Chap 3).
Catherine reminds me of an enigma wrapped within a riddle. When she writes, she skips between the poetic and the dramatic. Her highlights of the African lifestyles of herself, of authors whom she admires, and the many nuances of love keeps you wondering and pondering the passage of life.
