a letter to the fighters;
when the demons that you fight
threaten to overtake you
stab them with your dagger of hope
know that light lies within your vessel of greatness
and demons will get caught in their web of darkness
remember that you are never alone
that angels walk with you on this road of sharp thumbtacks
and that your loneliness and pain
will vanish
in a maelstrom of dust
you will rise from the darkness
and end up
the protagonist of your own novel;
where every chapter you encounter
revolves around your center of gravity
and your soul will be at peace
when you send your demons
to the land of Hades.

I wrote this piece as an expression of the journey that I've been through with regards to mental illness. I hope people will take a sense of hope from the poem.
