Breathe 

When my emotions are tense,

And nothing ever seems to make sense,

I close my eyes and breathe in,

Until my pain goes away and I grin,

Knowing that the pain will go away,

And I can mend the feeling as I breathe deeply each day,

The thoughts in mind slowly decreases,

As I no longer feel like im falling to pieces,

My heart doesn’t feel like its running miles,

I don’t feel like a helpless child,

Im strong enough to conquer my fears,

As  I breathe in and I dry my tears,

Nothing will last forever,

No pain will ever make me sever,

I’ll breathe deeply till the pain subsides,

As I let my breath be my guide. 

Self worth

Im stronger when I believe in myself,

My emotional state clears up as I believe in my emotional health,

Im strong when I have positive things to say,

As I believe I can do anything and be anything in so many ways,

My life hasn’t been so full since I’ve had self worth,

And now I can finally feel like I found my purpose on earth,

My spirit hasn’t felt so alive since now,

And I can clearly say I know now how,

 Self love and self worth was all I was lacking,

I was focused on so much I kept packing,

All my pain inside my head,

Until I couldn’t go to bed,

But now I know it wasn’t something I needed,

And I couldn’t get it by asking even if I pleaded,

I tried to find the answer in my head,

But I was traveling in a circle instead,

But now I know what to do with my life,

To end this pain and strife,

It is to have self worth and love,

To fully appreciate what I was given from above.

Never back down

I hate to admit I was knocked now many times,

Hating myself so bad, I write my messages in rhymes,

I felt so lost I wanted it to end, 

But I never gave in I fought till I could feel it mend,

People didn’t understand me,

But I never stoped being who I was meant to be,

Guys thought I was strange,

But I didn’t let it change,

Who I was cause I had people who cared about me,

And I didn’t realize it or even see,

How much potential I could give,

And that motivated me to live,

Live life just being me,

And I finally was able to see,

That no matter what was thrown at me,

I never gave up I fought to be the me I wanted to be.

Demons

I hated demons that controlled me,

But I was blinded I couldn’t see,

The light at the end of the tunnel,

I kept digging a hole like a funnel,

I had the dark times and bad moments,

And there were days I was afraid to own it,

But Im confident to admit everyone has pain,

And it can wash out just as easily as rain,

And the demons are strong but you have courage with in,

Don’t be afraid to believe in yourself and win,

The battle with the demons you face, 

Stand tall and believe you can  do anything as you embrace,

The good that lies with in your heart,

And none of the demons can tare you apart,

Cause you have a light that burns bright,

Stronger than any enemy of the night.
