Hello everybody
Just like you I miss my family
Sometimes I cry
But I still put on a smile
Work is hard
But its not too bad
It pays good
So I still endured
I spend time with friends
Go on trips
I say to myself
I also deserve this
When things not go my way
When problems strikes me
I just pray…
For God will make a way
All the battles I fight
Emotionally,
Physically,
Spiritually,
I fight with a strong Faith.
I always remember
Before I work here
I’m someone’s precious daughter
And my kids loving mother
I will live up for them and for myself
Just like you I miss my family
Sometimes I cry
But I still put on a smile
Work is hard
But its not too bad
It pays good
So I still endured
I spend time with friends
Go on trips
I say to myself
I also deserve this
When things not go my way
When problems strikes me
I just pray…
For God will make a way
All the battles I fight
Emotionally,
Physically,
Spiritually,
I fight with a strong Faith.
I always remember
Before I work here
I’m someone’s precious daughter
And my kids loving mother
I will live up for them and for myself
It's a poem stating how I keep myself strong. Overcoming depression shouldn't be done alone but with family, friends and God.
