There are days that are dark
and days that are light.
There are the days i am lonely
and days where i am in company.
There are days where i do not see
and days where i notice everything.
There are days where i contemplate life
and days where i am thankful for being here.
There are days where i am defeated
and days where i am the fighter.
There are days filled with terror
and days where i face my fears.
There are days where i am not in control
and days where i control everything.
There are days where i don't know my own thoughts
and days where they're all i can hear.
There are days where i walk alone
and days where someone has got my hand.
There are days where i sit and think
and days where i stand and shout.
There are days where i want to give up
and days where i know to hold on.
There are days where i don't learn
and days where i know everything.
There are days where i need help
and days where i do the helping.
There are days where i need a shoulder
and days where i am the shoulder.
Each day brings something new whether good or bad
and each day i know i will be thankful i lived it.

- Comment from author about the poem: I have written this poem to help reflect my feelings. I have struggled with self harm since i was 8 years old. It has occupied 11 years of my life already and i don't want it to take up any more. Time is a precious thing and i want people to see that no matter how hard it gets it gets easier. We are all living evidence that no matter what life throws at us we are able to bat it away. Stay strong everyone, there is a silver lining for all of us.
