This poem is called Ravaged Lands, I wrote this at one of lowest stages while suffering with depression. Some days are good and some days are bad but, at the end of these days I'm still here.
I'm a 22-year-old poet from South Wales, UK. I'm a psychology student and single mother who suffers from multiple mental health disorders; and in which is have my release through writing.
RAVAGED LANDS
In the realm of war and pace, let me share,
A tale of struggle, a hope we all bear.
War, a storm that ravages lands afar,
Leaving scars on hearts, like a haunting memoir
Battles waged with weapons gleaming bright,
Tearing families apart, causing endless plight.
Soldiers brave, their spirits standing tall,
Fighting for peace, risking it all.
But amidst the chaos, a flicker of light,
Peace emerges, like a dove taking flight.
A ceasefire declared, hearts filled with ease,
As love and compassion bring nations to their knees.
In the aftermath, rebuilding begins anew,
As shattered cities, rise, like dreams coming true.
Hands join together, hearts mending the fray,
Uniting as one, chasing darkness away.
Let us strive peace, with every breath we take,
For war’s destruction, let us forsake.
In unity and understanding, we find our way,
To a world where peace reigns, day after day.
So let us stand together hand in hand,
Spreading love and peace across every land.
For in the midst of war, hope shall never cease,
As we strive for a future where all live in peace.
