The Invisible War

The invisible war is real.

You can’t touch it yet the resistance holds you back.

It’s rejection. It’s anger. It is depression and anxiety and shame.

It doesn’t have a face, though it can stare you down and stir up great fear.

The world around you is only a background as the voices inside you shout louder.
