I once was lost in a sea of sorrow,
A dark, tumultuous storm with no tomorrow.
My mind was plagued by toxic thoughts,
And tangled emotions were all I got.

Loneliness and sadness were my companions,
Followed by anger that lit up like canyon.
I was blaming myself for things I couldn’t change,
My heart aching with a never-ending range.

But then I took a step to fight back,
Resilience and perseverance in my backpack.
I let it all go, one hurdle at a time,
Determined to heal, I started to climb.

Each day, I worked on myself with dedication,
Transforming my mind with an unwavering motivation.
My self-esteem grew stronger with each and every day,
And I found peace in myself that had gone astray.

So if you’re feeling lost, don’t give up yet,
Hold on to hope, let your spirit reset.
Find the courage to face your fears and pain,
And soon, your sunshine will start to reign.

Remember, you deserve happiness and peace,
Don’t let the world’s negativity make your happiness cease.
Take control of your thoughts and your heart,
And your journey to healing can truly start.
