Poetry reflecting life's journey

Recovery of depression, reflected within inspiring and uplifting verse


I often write in a way that creates images. I find it easier to deal with my emotions that way. I also use these images in overcoming times of floods of emotions.

DRAGON SLAYER

Once upon a time

a young girl

ok perhaps not so young

was told she was mentally ill.


The shock, the horror, how would she cope

how would others treat her now

the same perhaps, or differently

only time would tell.


More importantly how would she see herself

admist the confusion in her mind.


The story is still to be written

so far she has fought a few demons,

dragons with dripping fangs

ready to taste her blood.


Sometimes she bows her head

ready to admit defeat

to give in to the rages that ravage her mind

but looking aloft

on seeing a glimmer of hope

she picks up her sword ready to fight

and slay another dragon

waiting in the depths of her mind.
