Through shadows to strength

By Swastika Sahu

 

In the depths of the mind, where thoughts reside,

Does your mind take you on a turbulent ride?

In a journey full of just lows and the highs hide,

Remember you can talk about it, but never let it slide.

When the dark reigns and clouds blur the sky,

The storms of anxiety would knock, forcing a cry.

Reach out for support, your loved ones would standby,

Take a deep breath, embrace your strength, don't let it multiply.

Know that you're strong in your unique way,

Through the darkness, seek for the light in each passing day.

Remember dear one, it's okay to not be okay,

And always remember there's a brighter future coming, tearing the gray.

You're a warrior, you can make the dark shine,

Hold on to love and hope, a power divine.

And with help and support, you would get back on the fine line.

Let your voice be heard, then healing won't decline.

Let this be a reminder for the better health of your own,

You're worthy, strong, and definitely not alone,

Setting your spirit free, let it be shone.

You can make the world a place where mental health awareness is well known.
