I see you suffering in silence
I see you masking your pain
I see you feeling hopeless
I see you thinking you’re alone
I see you trying to muscle through this
I see you ashamed of how you feel
I see you afraid of what you might do
I see you not seeing any way forward

I see you angry for not being strong enough
I see you afraid to ask for help
I see you hurting yourself
I see you hurting others
I see you losing your temper
I see you going numb
I see you feeling hopeless
I see you wanting to give up
I see you thinking you’re a failure
I see you letting go
I see you suffering in silence
I see you masking your pain

You know what else I see?

I see you healing
I see you finding your light
I see you believing in yourself
I see you refusing to give up
I see you admitting there’s a problem
I see you being brave
I see you persevering
I see you feeling strong
I see you trusting others
I see you trusting yourself
I see you feeling hopeful
I see you feeling at peace

I see you forgiving others
I see you forgiving yourself
I see you having strong boundaries
I see you practicing self-care
I see you inspiring others
I see you inspiring yourself
I see you surrounded by kindness
I see you surrounded by love

I see you, Warrior.

I see you.
