Amidst the chaos of the world,

A storm brews within my mind.

Dark clouds of fear and doubt,

Obscure the light I hope to find.

A constant battle rages on,

Between the voices in my head.

One whispers words of hope and love,

The other fills me with dread.

The weight of anxiety can be heavy,

Dragging me down to the ground.

But with each breath, I rise again,

My strength and resilience found.

The road to healing is long and winding,

With many twists and turns along the way.

But I am not alone on this journey,

And I know I will see a brighter day.

For mental health is not a weakness,

But a strength to be embraced.

And with each step forward, I realize,

The beauty in life cannot be replaced.

So I stand tall and face the storm,

With courage and determination.

For I know that I am not defined,

By my struggles, but by my transformation.
