When you are feeling a mess
And unable to reach the message
Your soul is trying to send out
Just because you care more
About the people who depend on you
After the tears come
As the relief we aren’t giving ourselves

When A Mess Comes

This is a deeply touching and compassionate poem. ❤️ It beautifully captures the quiet struggle of caring so much for others that we sometimes forget to listen to our own soul.
The contrast between “the people who depend on you” and “the relief we aren’t giving ourselves” is especially powerful. Those final words linger in the mind, reminding us that tears are not always signs of weakness—they can be the soul’s way of releasing what we have carried for too long.
Thanks
