suicide prevention week

Weeping in mind
My worth less than a dime
A writing sack of useless flesh
The pain, it seeps out

Yet no one knew

Smiling as I rage
Hurting when I love
Unworthy, I drive them away
Perceived as hate

Yet no one knew

Love flees the hurt
The pit of endless woe
A madness of sorrow
Endless pain, with an end in sight

Yet no one knew

Atop the stairs I perch
As the tide of hate
Surges forward, taking love
Regret is hollow, yet on my face

Yet no one knew

On bottle, contents unknown
Consumed in haste
Saving them from me
By pushing them away

I hurt them all, myself too
Yet no one knew

You should know
That your bones tell a story of their own.
You don't have carry the weight of this wicked world alone.

You are the narrator,
the captain,
the teacher,
the dreamer,
the student,
the mystic,
the beloved.

You are the sum of all that is broken.
You are the entire, three-dimensional whole.
You are always just the right amount of enough.

It’s good to remind ourselves of that. Empathy empowers us to connect, to truly lead with our hearts and seek to understand where our fellow feely humans are coming from—to meet them where they are.

If you feel hopeless, remember that your strength is in your ability to be singularly and uniquely you. You are who you are meant to be, beautifully and perfectly you.

#IfYouFeelHopeless just know that it gets better. For some, this battle may have just started, for others it's an ongoing process. But we're all fighting this war together. We share this battlefield, we march to the same drum, and we will come out victorious. My battle scars will become my success story, just like yours will to. #MentalHealth #Suicide #Anxiety

I am worth the fight to live, worth the time spent here.
I am meant for something more than giving up, giving in and living in fear.
I am here for a reason, a season, a purpose and this illness cannot stop that.

Fighting this beast is not in vain,
I know it's face, I know it's name.
I have wrestled it for years.
I know it's weaknesses, I've cried it's tears.
For my strength I am worthy.
For my drive I am worthy.
For my heart and open hand i am worthy.
But not just me…

For our struggles we are beyond worthy,
For our battles and scars and pieces of hearts we are worthy.
For the valley we walk and the shadows that stalk us
We are worthy.

You are worthy
I am worthy
Everyday we go on, we are beyond worthy.
