Warrior by Laura Ding Edwards from the book The Mountain When the world is on your shoulders and your heart feels full of lead and your stomach churns like butter and the voice inside your head is reminding you of everything you've ever said and done,
All your failures and regrets,
All the times your fear has won,
Take a minute to remember you've survived all this before,
You've battled and you've conquered when you thought you had no more.
You are stronger than you realize,
You are brave and wise and kind and you know you're so much bigger than the doubts that fill your mind.
So breathe it in then let it out,
Allow the ebb and flow,
You can win this war,
You always do,
You're a warrior you know.
