I Am Stronger Than This
“I Am Stronger Than This”
A Poem By: Samantha Steiner
March 31, 2018 @ 6:02 PM
A lack of sleep has my brain buzzing
With millions of unanswered questions
I may be a bit emotional
But I know mentally I have to fight this
These thoughts and feelings
Will try to get the best of me
I have to find a way to stay okay
So I picked up a pen and found some paper
I need to get these thoughts out of my head
Until they’re dead
Utilizing the only coping mechanism
That works for me
I write and I write until it’s all out of me
Wondering about the past is no good for me
It just jumbles my thoughts
And tries to steal my recovery
I am stronger than this
Emotions are just things you feel
That will eventually be gone
I know it’s not neverending like I used to think
I’ve made so much progress
These past seven months
I refuse to fall back
To the crippling grips, its had on me
I feel stronger every day
But I’m still bipolar
So I know I still fall
But at least now I know
I can pick myself back up
And move along!
Thanks for reading!
