*Cue the Degrassi theme song* 

Whatever it takes, I know I can make it through. 

But, not without some help! 

Sometimes it’s hard to put into words exactly what you’re feeling, and all you need is to see your feelings summed up by someone else’s words. This is why poetry, quotes and song lyrics are so important to many of us. 

No matter what feelings are swirling around inside, there is something out there to make you feel resolute in the way you are feeling.

Here is a collection of poems and quotes that have helped me, and so many others, in times of need. Hopefully you will find something that resonates with you:
