Art & Poetry - Growing from times of depression

In this time of isolation it is easy to reflect on dark times and find yourself lost and unfocussed. We want to remind you guys that even though it feels this way, you are NOT alone. Surround yourself with those who make you feel loved, look out for one another and most of all, be kind to yourself.🌺👣

TRENCHES

I am walking on a war path,

On no man’s land.

My bare feet are defeated by the sorrow of Earth

And yet I appear to be stably walking.

Gunfire will not wound this warrior.

Gunfire has soared through the sky and means nothing to me now,

When before gunfire was the worst predicament

I could ever.

Those were simpler times,

Falling was much easier

And the recovery, it had support.

Now there is no support, I have abolished that.

Instead I must now walk alone.

The cries calling to me that I ignore prove

There is still some hope.

But I am walking on a war path.

I do not intend to return.
