Deserts even hug you
Dry lands throw arms of sand
Dancing against your skin
Against your heart
Saying welcome.
Afraid you’ll make home
You wonder if you’ll make it
Across wastelands
Who dreams of a country
Who dreams of a country but
You, you came
Beyond barren haunted minds
Where you refused to be enstooled.
So here’s stool
Sit well
You who fought minds in battles
Forging trusted words from The Truth.
PS. Keep fighting for your mental health. Stay mentally healthy.
