In the depths of turmoil, where darkness reigns
A wounded soul, with scars that remain
The echoes of trauma, a painful refrain
A constant reminder of the pain and the strain
But in the midst of all that jazz, a spark is found
A flame that flickers, a light that’s profound
It’s the wisdom of the heart, a guiding way
To navigate the chaos, night and day
With every step, with every breath
The inner strength is built, the healing begins to seep
Like a slow-moving river, it winds its way
Through the labyrinth of the mind, to bring new light of day
Coping mechanisms form, a shield to defend
Against the demons that threaten to descend
But mental illness whispers sweet nothings in our ear
A constant reminder that we’re not alone, we’re not unique, we’re dear
Yet even in this darkness, there’s a glimmer of courage found
A resilience that rises, like a phoenix from the ground
For we’ve faced our fears, and we’ve stood our ground
And in that standing, we’ve discovered wisdom profound
Healing is not linear, it’s a winding road
A path that’s fraught with twists and turns to unload
But with each step forward, with each breath we take
We’re one step closer to breaking free from the weight
So let’s hold onto hope, like a lifeline to our soul
And trust that healing will come, like a gentle summer breeze to unfold
For with time and patience, with love and care
We’ll rise above the turmoil, and find our inner strength to share.
