Ailsa Wright Poet Rhyme

Onwards The Brave

If today feels a struggle,
Just to rise out of bed,
Only to return to it later,
Unable to control your chaotic head.

It's no good beating yourself up,
To feel more anxious and sad,
Remember we do whatever we can,
To cope when feeling mentally bad.

There's only ever twenty-four hours,
In each and every single day,
So if today feels extra hard,
Tomorrow is always a new day.

I hope one day you find,
That peace and calm you crave,
The show must always go on,
You'll get there, onwards the brave.
