Stress eats at me Old monsters Roar to life Bad habits broken Reawakens Eyes wet with Tears unshed Hands shake Bad thoughts resurface Triggers cut deep Be calm Be quiet Be a good girl Don't make a sound Stress tearing me up inside Trying to make me insane I know I can cope The monsters Stay dead Bad habits remain broken Bad thoughts trampled Triggers still cut But I won't scar I may struggle But I won't drown Life is hard I can do hard things I am An overcomer
