Moon Rise

By Sarah Chayer

"Moon Rise" is a collection of original poems and illustrations expressing one author's journey to overcome depression, anxiety, and poor self-esteem. It is all about finding hope in the darkest of times, making changes and difficult decisions, in order to rise to the better life you deserve.

As the day comes to an end
And the sun begins to sink
You feel the dark
Creeping in
Absorbing you
The blackness is suffocating
But above the fading ember sky
A new light rises
A celestial symbol
A crescent reminder
That even in the darkest of times
There is hope.
