there is always hope, no matter how faint

As much as it feels like things are gloom

Like you've reached a stop

With nowhere to head

and nowhere to go

And although you may feel

Directionless

Helpless

With loss of motivation

I know that

Things are not as bad as they seem

And that the situation will get better.

So although I have not treated myself kindly today

I make a conscious note of the way things are

And I mentally note down the things I have

That I am grateful for today.

My breath

The ability to rest

My job

My capability to work

My inner spark

No matter how dimly lit

I know that it's still there.

Thank you for the things I have

For the people who care

For not giving up on myself

And for my faith that things will get better

That I will be able to sort my mind out

And

Albeit slowly

Sort things out

One-by-one.

And as I clear my mind

I have faith

That a target. A goal will be formed

One that I truly believe in

And one that will make me motivated

and strive to work towards

All at the same time

Whilst enjoying the journey to get there.

I

will be alright.

And so will

You.
