In a world that often demands quick healing and perfect strength, this poem by Josette Celeste offers a gentle, honest invitation into the quiet reality of recovery. Be Patient With Me is a deeply moving piece that speaks from the heart of someone who has been wounded, erased, and left in the ruins of their former self—yet refuses to surrender hope.

With raw vulnerability and quiet courage, the speaker lays bare their dulled shine, burned throne, and lingering loneliness, while bravely clearing the fog and watching chains rust away. Through every aching line, the poem whispers a simple, powerful request: be patient with me. It’s a beautiful reminder that healing is rarely linear, and sometimes the bravest thing we can do is ask for time, understanding, and grace as we find our light again.

Be Patient With Me

Be patient with me; I’m not whole anymore.

I’ve been wounded and erased; I’m not the same as before.

My shine has dulled, my smile has frowned.
I’ve lost my robe and sold my crown.

This kingdom of mine is without order; the throne has burned and reality a metaphor.

The globe calls and circles my mind—I’m not free, a prisoner you’ll find.

Despite all this—I beg of you,
be patient with me.

There is hope, yet, I’m clearing the fog. The chains are rusting and falling off.

I can move my limbs and feel my skin again, no longer paralyzed and empty thin.

Through the dungeon’s window shines—the light illuminates my soul from eyes.

No more demons in the dark;
no more need for fire’s spark.

Despite all this, I beg of you, be patient with me.

For the nights are quiet and lonely still—that I cannot change with pen or quill.

Despite all this, I beg of you—be patient with me.
