MENTAL BATTLES

Mental battles are the toughest 

It takes so much from you 

To not feel hopeless

To not feel lost

And most of all, to not feel useless

Trying hard to embrace sadness

To find strength to cast out excuses

To find passion again 

And love the person I am within 

What is joy, without sorrow

Perhaps it's hard now

But there's always a Tomorrow

Living day-by-day as I go 

Sailing the winds, going with the flow

In the pit and the valley,

I will continue to look up

Reminding myself that 

This is just part of the journey
