I’m Still Here

Some days, i wake and feel the weight
before i even move.
A heaviness I can’t explain,
A silence i can’t soothe.

I smile so no one sees the storm,
The one inside my chest,
and tell myself to keep it calm,
To fake that I’m at rest.

I laugh when laughter does’nt come,
I talk but feel unseen,
I walk through crowds yet feel alone
like I’m stuck in between.

It hurts to hope, it hurts to breathe,
The nights are cold and long,
But even when I fall apart,
I try to still be strong.

And somewhere deep inside my soul,
Beneath the ache and fear,
A little spark reminds my heart
I’m still, somehow, still here.

I’ve learned that HEALING takes its time,
That pain can make me wise,
That even when my light feels dim,
It never truly dies.

So i will rise, again, again
With every scar i earn
The fire in me flickers softly,
But always finds return.

I may not have it figured out,
And that’s okay, I’ve learned
For even in my darkest night,
The sunrise waits its turn.

PS. (I wrote and composed this last September 1, 2025
I went for a hike to Panorama Ridge Mountain, I was inspired to possibly expose what i feel,
I have been suffering from my mental health, depression and anxiety, since the day i received the bad news since June 16, 2024)
