Poem : Moving On 🥹

Running on the ground, walking on the floor 🏃‍♀️🚶‍♀️,

Climbing every mountain to reach something more ⛰️🌟.

Stones lie before me, trying to make me fall 🪨💥,

Yet the world always tests those who dare to stand tall 💪🌍.

If I carry every burden, I will break one day 🏋️‍♀️😔,

So I leave the weight behind and clear my way 🌈✨.

The rain tries to stop me, expecting my fire to fade 🌧️🔥,

But every life learns that growth begins in the shade 🌱🌿.

I love the rain; it speaks to my pain 🌧️💙.

I bloom in storms, I rise through strain 🌸🌪️.

Tsunamis and tempests roar in my face 🌊⚡,

Still, strength is born exactly where challenges take place 💪🌟.

Everything blocking me is weaker than love ❤️💫—

A force that guides destinies from below and above 🌌🕊️.

Love can heal me, change me, tear me apart 💔💖,

For every heart knows that power and pain both live in the same heart 💓⚡.

Some people move on without knowing the ache 😔💭,

Smiling outside while silently they break 😶‍🌫️💔.

Life often hides battles behind the calmest eyes 👀🌙,

And moving on is never as simple

as enjoying apple pie under sunny skies 🥧☀️.
