building strength

looking back,

I’d tell myself

that the mountains

are worth the climb

the darkness

is worth

even the smallest

glimpse of light

–building strength

I am a New Jersey based poet who aspires to share my story through poetry and prose focused on faith and my journey with depression. I have overcome many obstacles and I believe everyone has a story to tell, even if they haven't found the words yet. I hope my words can inspire others to believe in their purpose and to find strength to climb the next mountain.
