Poem: Struggle To Rise

Posted byDevin HoggPosted inMental Health, PoetryTags:, ,

I struggle to rise
To throw off the covers
Boldly face the world
Fear keeps me abed
It saps my strength
Clouds my mind
Paralyzes my body
The burden is too much
I am compelled to sink
Back into the dark
Morning after morning
I fight to wake
Each time I succumb to fear
I may be beaten
I am not defeated
I will continue to fight
To struggle to rise
One day I will succeed
One day I will master my fear
Rise with ease

In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching TV and movies, going on long walks, swimming, and practicing Chen style Tai Chi. I love to write poetry and blog regularly about topics such as mental health, sci-fi/fantasy series, faith, sexuality, and politics.
