Sign of Hope

I hope someone uses some of my lines as quotes I hope my words inspire some to carry on I hope my rhymes encourage you to stay strong I hope my poetry provides you with a sign of hope Maybe I'm too honest for my own good A former self-harmer, who's bipolar with anxiety & depression who's never known love Raised in foster care because my parents preferred drink I put it all out there when I'm sharing with ink I was made to feel worthless and taught I couldn't Bullied and picked on, but made it past times I thought I wouldn't I'm still here despite all the weight I hold on my shoulder Had people leave when I told them I'm bipolar Stabbed in the back by people I thought I could trust Been through so much hurt, So I'm sorry if I don't talk about love enough Got told there was no way out, But I created my own path I learned to push forward even when the world tries to hold you back I gave depression the best fight its ever had Every lesson I've learned I write in my pad I made it this far without any help Been bullied, and beat down but I found happiness in myself Behind every dark cloud there's a silver lining You just have to have the will to find it To get to where you need to be it may take a while Be strong and don't let anyone break your smile I hope someone uses some of my lines as quotes I hope my words inspire some to carry on I hope my rhymes encourage you to stay strong I hope my poetry provides you with a sign of hope
