Too the one who stood strong, and walked tall
When everything was against her.
When life was pushing down on her,
Digging her deeper day by day.
Walking tall through the times she thought she would never make it out…

To the one who kept going, even when she could have quit…

Thank you…
Thank you for being so resilient and strong.
So powerful and brave.

And thank you for sticking around long enough for me to meet you.

Thank you for letting me be your strength, your light, your dark, whatever you need.

Thank you for being so brave, so strong, so gentle, so powerful and so wonderful.

This is me

I have been broken, bent and hurt.
I have fallen down more times than I would like to admit.

I have been used and mistreated, unsure of my own worth.
Allowing people into my life that did not deserve me.

Putting my time and energy into the wrong things, leaving myself drained so many times…

But

I will not give up.
I am fierce. I am strong. I AM a ******* warrior.

For all the times I have fallen down, I have risen back up.

Be warned, world. The real me is coming. Every single day I fight on and build myself back up, the real me is closer to being released.

And the world is not ready….

You are fighting a silent war, that no one knows about
You always hold it deep inside, never letting it show
The weight of your battles crushes you
You are not sure how much more you can endure

As the darkness engulfs you, and you finally reach out for help
You let out a noiseless scream
A call for aid, lost deep in the shadow of the void

Take my hand and let me be a soldier in your war
I will march with you through your darkness, until you are back in the light

Your silent screams did not go unheard
I  hear you, you are not alone.

Some days, I wake up, and feel like I am nothing.
The dark hits and I feel worthless
I am small
I am powerless

During those times, my eyes are closed
I don’t want to be engulfed in the darkness

I have lived in the dark for too long

No more living in the dark
I am done, I am through

I will fight the darkness so I can feel the light against my skin

When I am out of the darkness, I feel mighty
I feel powerful
I am not nothing…

I will show the world who I am
