Be Strong This Christmas

Christmas usually has a magical touch.

I enjoying the festivities,

But try to make sure not to do too much.

Theres always a joyous atmosphere and exciting days,

But I'm always praying the illness will actually give me a break.

Theres always happy times and happy faces,

But I'm keeping mental health struggles hidden in unseen places.

Doing my best to keep going,

Because nothing I want to miss,

I keep telling myself,

“I want to be strong this Christmas”.
