It was in my brokenness
That I found healing
It was in my confusion
That I found clarity
It was in my discomfort
That I found ease
It was in my anger
That I found peace
It was in my dissatisfaction
That I found inspiration
It was in my pain
That I found contentment
It was in my sorrow
That I found joy
It was in my stress
That I found solace
It was in my loneliness
That I found comfort in my own presence
It was in my regret
That I found satisfaction
It was in my insecurity
That I found self-acceptance
It was in my weariness
That I found energy
It was in my boredom
That I found creativity
It was in my restriction
That I found empowerment
It was in my feelings of unworthiness
That I found confidence
And it was in my feelings of rejection
That I found self-love
And discovered
That true alchemy
Is not turning lead into gold
But creating something beautiful from pain:
Finding meaning in the tough times
And allowing them to shape you
Into someone better, wiser
Kinder, maturer and stronger.
