Real Stories

Holding on to Faith

by Esther Gonzales • August 27, 2020

In the darkest valleys,

I will carry you.

And when you can not

Find your way,

I will guide you,

Reminding you

Of all you’re meant to be.

Darling,

Rest in this truth,

I go before and behind you.

You never walk alone.

I am a New Jersey based poet who aspires to share my story through poetry and prose focused on faith and my journey with depression. I have overcome many obstacles and I believe everyone has a story to tell, even if they haven't found the words yet. I hope my words can inspire others to believe in their purpose and to find strength to climb the next mountain.
