You are a Warrior

In the depths of despair,

When the world feels too much to bear,

Know that you are not alone,

And your strength will be shown.

Mental health is a battle,

But you have the power to rattle,

The chains that hold you down,

And rise up with a victorious sound.

You may feel lost and afraid,

But don't let your spirit fade,

For within you lies a flame,

That can burn away the shame.

Surviving on your own,

May seem like an impossible tone,

But with each step you take,

Your resilience will awake.

So hold on to hope,

And learn to cope,

For you have the strength,

To go to any length.

You are not defined,

By the battles of your mind,

And with each passing day,

You will find your own way.

Believe in yourself,

And your ability to excel,

For you are capable of more,

Than you have ever known before.

So keep fighting the fight,

And hold on to the light,

For you are a warrior,

And your journey will take you higher.

About the Creator

Steffany Pope

Dealing with mental health problems has been hard. I've lived my whole life believing that no one understood me. I realized, my mind is not for others to understand; but for my edification of self awareness. So, I write to understand me.
