Battle Scars

Here I am Still standing This far Could have given up Waving white flag Staying low Bury myself No one know My existence Too much Wires tangled up In my mind Broken fuse No longer thinking straight No words cannot escape From my mouth Even if I do Judgemental gossips and stares Making it worse That is tragically sad I say to myself Helping myself is the pathway out Every bit of energy Every bit of hope Every bit of happiness All I have Practicing gratitute Appreciating silence Taking the time Focusing the important Avoiding to overthink Just give a go Like it is my only shot in life A fun one With tears in my eyes Aches in my heart A step forward All it takes Looking ahead Telling myself It is okay That is what humans have the ability to do Not the best yet But at least It is better Blessed with more Than previously had before I am not there yet Not complaining Because I am at better part of life That makes me contented © Sue Sanzz 2020
