Pluck me from my life
And fly me far away from here
From all my daily strife
I’d rather be unknown
I’d rather sleep alone
In my nightly dreams remain
Than everyday to feel
This lifelong endless pain
Tag mental health
Reaching for the Sky
I feel the fear and acknowledge it
For it is felt within my mind and heart
Days will come, and time will pass
I will be led to where my soul
Would lead me to, and I know
That all will be well, closing my
Eyes, I reach for the sky
Stolen Words
My anxiety has risen
Taking with it the words
That so freely flowed
Validation
Seeking validation
From sources outside myself
I look around, incomplete
Spending the day alone
And all I see when I
Take the time are
Faces just like
Mine
A Poem
A dark, heavy blanket lies over my being
I don’t want to eat, or drink, or laugh, or sleep
I don’t want to dream for I know
The morning will rise and I will be burdened with
A shadow
Following me
Watching
Spying
Lurking
Preying
I pray that the night will not end
I pray
That my dreams will grant me peace
For the torment of the day coupled with the torment of the night is too much for my soul to bear
I remember my past
And dark days
Interspersed with nights so cruel
I try to escape the waves threatening to break over me
But crippled with fear
I cannot move
Words
Words flow from my heart
Like water from an open tap
And as they flow they smooth
The stones, continually massaging
Into pebbles so fine, I don’t want
The tap of words to close in on me
For without my words, where would my
Relief be found then?
Two Right Feet
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Two Right Feet.”
I woke up this morning
With a pain in my chest
And a fear in my heart
That all’s not well, not well
The stress is rising
Panic is starting
I need to calm, I need to breathe
Just breathe okay, just breathe
In and out, and in and out
That’s all I have to do
I want to scream, I want to flee
I want to fly away
From this body, from my world
I want to run away
Close your eyes, just close them now
Now’s the time to pray
Self Doubt
When darkness overwhelms
And self doubt grabs a hold
Write about it
Externalise it
When anger starts to rise
And blood begins to boil
Write about it
Externalise it
When sadness starts to grow
And mood begins to drop
Write about it
Externalise it
When no one else can offer help
And new resolve is needed soon
Meditate over it
Internalise it
Moving Towards The Light
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Be the Change.”
I would like my blog to make a change
To encourage, touch or resonate
In this dark world where all is lost
Where somewhere there may be hope in need
For I have learnt and am learning still
The power of words and how much they have
Words create worlds, and I hope to touch
To somehow build and not destroy
For I have been so low, not knowing what to do
How to escape this agony?
That walks around with me each day
Steals the smile from my heart and face
Dark times so dark no light is seen
In midst of nights, and in sunlight
I wrote The Light, and formed a blog
To help me move towards the light
“When all around is dark
And all you know is night
Feel the hope within
And move towards the light”
Explosion of Color
Exploding colors
Brightening life’s long day
When we are sad and blue
Flowers reflect the inward hue
