Route by Melody Nadal
My mental health journey
Once happy then becomes gloomy
Sometimes faith is playful I’m so weary
I’m trained to be strong but the death of loved ones I can’t fathom
Pain will always be there but a caring community comforting my sorrow

When I need to cross the hanging bridge of emotions
It’s very unsteady its human creations
Will I be weakling and coward and take another route or
Have faith in myself ill cross the bridge from your encouragement
Ill set aside my doubts self confidence abound

The route to success is confusing
For every challenge, it’s not all about winning
Give others a chance it is worth celebrating
Accolades are good but a humble heart is what I’m hearing beating

Route to giving back added to my detour
Beautiful manner molded my contour
One stop or pause when light of life flickers
Be the radiating sunshine you’re the guiding light

All needs recognition and appreciation
Sending gratitude instead of hibernation
Sending undying love to all creation
When you’re ashtray follow the right route
And be the source of inspiration and motivation

Life is short we only live ones
Keeping our sanity is vital for everyone
Emotionally a positive mindset is simply the best
Pep talk to themselves not affected by stress

Physical loving yourself will beat every test
Sleeping soundly enough rest
Eating healthy helps me think then I’m at ease
By writing I’m unloading my baggage ready for my next quest

Sailing with the right peer destination set to this route without fear
As healthy boundaries also will take you to your journey
This is your captain speaking
Reminding you you’re the master of your faith.
