David Hurlburt - Depression Warriors

In the depths of despair, a battle they wage,
Against shadows that loom, a soul's inner cage.
They've faced the abyss, felt its chilling embrace,
But found strength within, to conquer this space.

With every dark thought, a valiant stand,
They rise from the ashes, with purpose at hand.
They've learned to embrace, the light in their eyes,
And conquer the demons, that threaten to rise.

They've known the despair, the crushing weight,
But through resilience, they've changed their fate.
Their journey's a testament, to human resolve,
A beacon of hope, for those who evolve.

If you're battling darkness, know you're not alone,
Reach out for support, let your feelings be known.
Open your heart, to a friend or a guide,
For in unity, strength and hope will abide.

Embrace self-care, nourish mind, body, and soul,
Engage in activities, that make you feel whole.
Find solace in nature, or music's sweet sound,
Let joy and laughter, within you be found.

Practice gratitude, for the blessings you hold,
Focus on the positives, let your story unfold.
Celebrate small victories, every step you take,
Your resilience inspires, for goodness sake.

Remember your worth, your unique light,
In the face of adversity, you shine ever bright.
You're strong, capable, and worthy of love,
You're a warrior, sent from heavens above.

So rise from the darkness, embrace the new dawn,
Your journey's a triumph, your spirit reborn.
Depression warriors, you've conquered the fight,
With courage and hope, you're shining ever bright.\n\nDavid Hurlburt
