The flames
of the enemy
licking at your soul
burning your joy
to the ground
leaving ashes
behind
don't listen to him
he came to
steal, kill and destroy
don't let him win
he's cunning
wrapped up
with a bow
of deceit and malice
wants you to fail
to flail
to fall
to pall
Stand up
Dry your tears
Fight back
Speak up
"Not this time.
I have a Shield
I have a Sword
I just found out
that I'm stronger
than you!"
Speak life
over you
You are loved beyond measure
You matter
You are enough
You are.

Author's note:
If you get a "feeling" that someone (a friend, a coworker or even a stranger) is struggling, speak up. Don't be afraid to create an awkward moment- it could mean life for that person. What you think is insignificant could save someone- a smile, a meal, a ride, a compliment,encouragement, just acknowledging their existence. A small kind gesture could make a huge difference to someone hanging on by a thread.
