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
