Poetry

Hi everyone I am a listener on 7 cups and I wanted to make a thread about poetry, when going through problems in my life including depression, PTSD and anxiety, I have written poetry to help me process my feelings. I thought if anyone does the same thing or would like to then we could post them to this thread.

It is only fair I share one of my own person pieces of poetry so here goes...

Looking at the crevices of your own skin seeing every tear released flowing down them, like the loneliest river.

Unanswered question lingering in the corners of your eyes, peaking out ever so slightly as they laugh quietly. Darkness covering the heart that's beating to a rhythm you now can not recognize.

Missing beats intentionally so you know you are alive. Yearning for a map to escape those claustrophobic walls shrinking in your mind. As the Never ending maze hands you more branches to the tree your searching to kill.

Comforting words whispered for reassurance yet receiving false hope to break you. This merry go round is never ending, yet you insist to ride with me.

Thank you for reading and hope to see your poetry too :)

I don't usually write poetry myself, but I do love to read it, so I thought I'd share one of my favorite ones.
