In the depths of my being, a guardian lies asleep
A sentinel of strength, where trauma’s scars do creep
A survivor of the past, I’ve faced the darkest night
And emerged alive, though battered and worn in sight
My mind a maze of turmoil, where demons love to roam
But courage whispers secrets, of a resilience to call home
For I’ve learned to face the shadows, to confront the pain
And find solace in the silence, where healing’s balm remains
In this battlefield of mental health, I’ve fought my share
Of battles fierce and weary, with scars to show I care
But still I stand, a warrior worn but unbroken
A testament to resilience, my heart still beating unspoken
The past may have left its mark, but I’ve learned to live
With the weight of its memories, and the scars that give
A reminder of my strength, a badge of honor worn
A symbol of my courage, forever reborn
I am a guardian of my soul, a sentinel of my heart
A survivor of the turmoil, a warrior who’s played her part
I am alive, and with each breath, I’ll rise above the pain
And in the stillness of my mind, find solace and love again.
