Stairs

** I wrote this poem in the hope that I will be able to face my fears and find hope. I hope you all can do the same if you are struggling like I am to do so. I walk down colorful stairs. Pink, Purple, Orange, Blue, Red, and Yellow. Each step I take I see words representing the color of the steps. Happiness, Weakness, Anxiety, Sadness, Hope, and Hurt. As I walk to the end of the steps. I see the words, STAY STRONG with an arrow pointing towards my heart. I try to run from my fear but I am stuck. The words STAY STRONG start flashing and the arrow keeps getting bigger and bigger! I start freaking out. STOP! I close my eyes. A minute later I then feel a sense of freedom. I open my eyes and the stairs are yellow. I finally look to my heart, And it says YOU ARE STRONG! Then out of a nowhere the words on the stairs read: YOU HAVE THE POWER TO STOP THE DARKNESS WITHIN YOU. JUST HAVE HOPE. The stairs go back to normal.
