Conquer and Heal
As a child
Hating to focus
Focus on myself
Anything was better
Better than that...
Why should I?
Focus on my self
Focus on my health
Focus on my wealth
Receiving answers
Not really hearing
Neglecting
What makes me
Me
At the core of my being
Shaking
Body aching
Rejecting
Cause of the thoughts
I keep injecting
Fighting
A never ending battle
With self
Fearing
It'll be too late
To save
My own health
Mind in chaos
Just breathe
Breathe in
Then breathe out
You'll make it through this
So have no doubt
My inner dialog
Trying to understand
My way
Through my own personal
Fog
Everything so unclear
Clarity fading in and out
Certainly with no doubt
For this I will conquer
My deepest fear
Healing of self
Is why I'm really here

Author's Note
Was just sitting here reflecting again. On how, when I was growing up I never seemed to be able to care about my overall health. I looked healthy... but even as a child, I didn't feel all that healthy. I was healthy enough, and that's all that mattered to me. I convinced myself that my body would stay that youthful way forever. Just like a vampire haha. Despite what others might have said. This mindset has impacted me in my adult life and now I am trying to get my body back on track before I get older and it's simply too late. My primary goal in life is to achieve Ultimate healing for myself! My deepest fear is not being able to achieve this, it's my path to prove myself wrong. Hope you enjoy the read💜

The poem "Conquer and Heal" is a personal reflection on the speaker's journey to self-discovery and self-care. It explores the idea of neglecting oneself and the struggle to prioritize personal well-being over external factors such as wealth and success.
The poem uses short, simple lines that create a sense of urgency and convey the speaker's inner turmoil. The repetition of the word "focus" emphasizes the importance of paying attention to oneself and one's needs. The line "Why should I?" challenges the societal expectation of prioritizing external factors over personal health and well-being.
The speaker's struggle is further emphasized through phrases such as "body aching" and "mind in chaos," highlighting the physical and emotional toll of neglecting oneself. The use of the word "fighting" conveys the difficulty of the journey, and the fear of it being too late to make a change.
However, the poem ends on a hopeful note, with the speaker recognizing the need to conquer their fears and prioritize self-healing. The lines "Just breathe / Breathe in / Then breathe out" offer a moment of calm amidst the chaos, and the speaker's determination to "conquer" and "heal" suggests a sense of agency and control over their own well-being.
Overall, "Conquer and Heal" is a personal and introspective poem that encourages the reader to prioritize self-care and reminds us of the importance of taking care of ourselves in order to lead fulfilling lives.
