Sometimes I feel so weak and faint,

Like my legs will give way to the ground beneath me.

I feel so helpless, powerless and unsteady

Like my legs will crumple into the ground beneath me.

I feel like I cannot face another sunset and sunrise

Like my legs will disintegrate into the ground beneath me.

I am nauseous, I feel like I cannot face another morning, night or tomorrow.

I believe my legs will cave in to the ground beneath me.

And I will disappear and vanish through these cracks.

I sense that the ground will just swallow me up.

But I remind myself surely there is more for me.

If I only try to wake myself up with a little more effort and exertion.

I will stand up and found the courage to place my feet on the ground beneath me.

I will be steady, sturdy and secure.

I will not evaporate through these cracks and be consumed.

As I do have hope and optimism remaining.

I have not been drained of it completely.

So I have to fight and struggle to face another day, another night.

And I promise myself I will wage a war with myself until

I’m at peace with myself and the ground beneath me is no longer unsteady, shaky and wavering,

As I do have hope and optimism remaining.

I have not been drained of it completely.
