Mental health 

It is a hard battle

Many people struggle with it

You are always battling like a fighter trying to win the fight

You want to break free

You try your hardest to break free like a person breaking out of jail

You try hard but it stays

You think it is gone then it can come back

You don’t know why this is happening

You want it to be gone

Then one day it is

Not for long though it comes and goes

You just want to be left alone

But the truth is it is hard to stop

You have to push harder than you ever have like a person pushing something uphill

You have to tell yourself that you need help

You can’t be scared

Then finally you get help

You break free from it

You have won!

Dear poetry editor, 

I hope you will take a look at my poem about mental health. My poem is called "Hard Battle". I feel this will be good for your magazine because a lot of teens battle with mental health.

I am a senior in high school. I am a beginning poet.

Sincerely, Lexie
