Trench-Walker By: Amanda Burton
Some battles are invisible—but every sunrise I choose to rise anyway. Strength isn’t about being unbroken. It’s about getting back up despite the forces trying to pull you down. #warrior #mentalhealthadvocate #embracevulnerability #emotions #keepgoing

Fragmented in the Moment By: Amanda Burton
This poem is for anyone who smiles through the noise, who stays even when their body is screaming. You’re not broken—you’re overwhelmed. Overstimulation isn’t a choice. Neither is the longing to stay. #poetry #mentalhealth #love #real #depression

Cycle Breaker By: Amanda Burton
For those stuck in the endless cycle and for those who have broken it…knowing who you are and revealing to that the world with the reality of knowing someone will judge you can be terrifying but living a lie and hiding behind a wall of fake is worse. YOU are valued. YOU are worth the truth. YOU des

Not Apologizing for Surviving By: Amanda Burton

Mom, But Still Human By: Amanda Burton
Being a mom doesn’t erase the human underneath. Trying counts. Showing up counts. Even on the hard days. Even when you make mistakes. They won’t remember you yelling about a broken tv or grounding them for being disrespectful but they will remember forever that you’re their constant and that they c

Losing a loved one is never easy, especially when you feel alone. Accept Support. Support family and friends during sad and tough times. Being a positive person is easier than you think.

Letter to the Girl I Used to Be By: Amanda Burton
A letter to the girl I used to be—the one who carried storms in silence and still found a way to hope. She held every broken piece without knowing she was building the version of me who stands here now. This poem is my way of reaching back to her, gently, finally telling her she wasn’t fragile… she

Functioning, But On Trial By: Amanda Burton
Some of us don’t need a courtroom. Our mind already holds the trial. Every word replayed. Every mistake submitted as evidence. Every insecurity cross-examined. And somehow we end up being the prosecutor, the jury, and the one standing guilty. I wrote this for anyone who looks like th

The Smallest Thanks By: Amanda Burton
This season asks us to name what we’re thankful for, but the blessings that matter most aren’t always the ones we can see. For many of us, the holidays feel heavier than we admit — and it’s the quiet, genuine kindness from others that shifts the weight. A gentle word, a moment of grace, a softness
