This is a poem I wrote at the request of another Mental Health worker named Elise for our Suicide Prevention, Mental Health Awareness, and SUD (Substance Use Disorder) day in the park.
Sometimes Hope is hard to find, When we have so much on our mind. Troubling thoughts and unseen voices, Seem to take away all of our choices. Driving us to total exhaustion and doubt, Sometimes it seems like there is no way out. The winding road never seems to end, Around the curve is another bend. As everything seems to twist and distort, Straightaways are always far too short. We hope to dare and dare to dream, Our life will become like a mountain stream. Forever flowing down the mountain, Crisp and cool as winter fountain. Reflecting the beauty that is all around, Peace has such a comforting sound. As we pray and search for hope; Trying to find a way we can cope, With each day and all of its trials, Can we find the strength to smile? We have the strength to overcome all we face, Live our lives with style and grace. We simply need to take a look inside, Our inner strength is in a place it cannot hide. It all boils down to circumstance and choice, And listening to our soul’s inner voice.
