Overcoming

Oh hey there debilitating fear

You’re back again I see 

On my last sunny day 

As I ran through the beams 

Of light and hope 

I thought you could no longer be 

I felt so strong 

Invincible

But hey

Here you are 

Did I learn enough 

On that last last sunny day 

To overcome you quicker 

Let’s see 

Because here you are 

Where I thought you couldn’t be

Oh hey there self doubt of mine

I see you want to break me

Want to tell me 

I’m not good enough 

My dreams are just a fantasy 

The habits of the entitled 

Who think they can do as they please 

That life is not about suffering 

When for most it really is 

But there’s also joy and love 

Though you say there isn’t for me 

Oh hey there childhood trauma

I see you’ve come to derail 

My health 

My wealth 

my relationship 

You think you have a place 

You think you can disregulate me 

Put me in a state

The kind that leaves me whirling 

Physically unsettled 

A perspective so utterly narrow 

The truth holy withheld 

Hey there my old friends

I’ll call you that today

Because you’ve taught me 

I am strong 

The importance of empathy  

You’ve taught me I can overcome 

That while I am unique 

I’m really not that rare 

As most us 

Have these friends just like me 

And they have overcome 

Or they will soon you see 

Without you 

I wouldn’t be 

The version of me 

I am today

So thank you my friends 

For what you have taught me 

but now I am who you made me to be 

Someone who has got this 

So I will take it from here
