and Purposeful Prose
Mental unwellness It's a tide that makes life bleak It's a struggle The constant juggle Emotions like waves of the sea Anxiety, guilt, and grief Low moods and high water Life can feel like a teeter-totter Where's the balance?

I want to grow wings And rise up again Will I find my way? Do trials ever end? I want to live I want to be free Will I find my passion That I lost at sea? When I fall, will I rise? Will I hear God's song? Will I find my strength When I [...]
Behind the Poem: I've probably struggled a bit with depression since I was a teen. I'm convinced that I'm one of those people who is sensitive to fluctuating hormones. I'm also prone to Seasonal Affective Disorder, I have Hashimoto's Disease and I'm in Perimenopause. Add a pandemic and isolation into the mix and it's a [...]
