Rest Assured: Poem by Rhobie

when the stars don’t seem to align,

and the glamour starts to fade

when your world is changing

and you’re losing your grip on everything

when you’re wishing for the best

but it seems to get worse

rest assured

for the stars will align again

and there will be a new light

Your world will make a little more sense

and you’ll learn not to hold on so tight

hope will bring about strength

circumstance will get better

rest assured,

rest assured.

I wrote this piece last weekend after a very long, stressful week. Honestly, this has been such a weird time for me. Overall, I’m doing pretty okay, but there have been so many uncertainties and curveballs lately that I have barely been able to process. For me, this poem is a reminder that everything will work out the way it’s supposed to, even if it doesn’t feel that way in the moment.

I hope that this poem can serve as that reminder for you too. Sometimes, life gets really hard. It could be that someone who was in your life for a really long time suddenly isn’t, something you were working on for a long time fails, or you find yourself in some kind of other difficult situation. Understand that all things have a weird way of working out. So during those time I hope you lean on your supporters, your faith, or whatever positive keeps you going. Rest assured- this too shall pass.

With so much love,

Rhobie
