Warrior

by L.M.S.

When the world is on your shoulders, and your heart is full of lead
and your stomach churns like butter and the voice inside your head
is reminding you of everything you’ve ever said or done
all your failures and regrets all the times your fear has won.

Take a minute to remember you’ve survived all this before
you’ve battled and you’ve conquered when you thought you had no more
you are stronger than you realise you are brave and wise and kind
and you know you’re so much bigger than the doubts that fill your mind.

So breathe it in and let it all out; you can win this war, you always do
you’re a warrior, you know.
