I Need Love

@jesusredeemedme2425

Is it loving Kiara day? Oh, wait, thats everyday!

Hugs and love for our treasure trove 🤍(hah, is that cringe? Ah well, long as i mean it, right? 😁)

It sounds like we’re in the same boat. What you wrote is how I’m feeling today, too. I took the day off work. Try to find something to enjoy and distract yourself from the negative. I used to watch the Walking Dead and one of my favorite episodes is “JSS” -Just Survive Somehow. Sometimes, at the end of the day, just surviving is enough and we should be content to have done just that. I have to remind myself of this same thing or I’ll go crazy.

@jesusredeemedme2425 — sweetheart we all feel that same way at different times. I write poetry when I'm feeling that way. What do you do? 

I would get in bed and lay in an embryo state and will myself to just stop and calm myself down. Before writing poetry, that's what I'd do.

Now I do both sometimes and that's okay it means you're making progress not sliding back in the past.  It keeps to quiet the pain I feel physically. 

a poem I wrote this evening: 

"Succumbing" 

I am not

accustomed

to feeling

physical pain —

It is the grueling

mental anguish

I seem more

able to sustain

in my crazy

wild brain —

I am doing

the best that I can

considering

all I am holding —

I am strong

but the weight

is heavy and

often controlling —

I don't feel sorry

for myself at all,

I am just trying

to understand —

The path to

finding balance

is the life

that I have planned —

Physical pain

is a challenge

and the weight

of the world

is as well —

I search for

the quiet

inside of

my shell —

When I think

something

or I feel

something

it's a very hard

feel or thought —

I just want to

make a difference

and heal

what is distraught —

There is a path

through this sadness

I feel —

To find a new

strength within me

that is steady and real.

This just is not me

I am not

a sad person

no, that is not me —

That is what

my soul needs

His peace so bad

and to God

I make a 

heartfelt plea —

Author’s Note: This piece is a look at the toll that chronic stress takes on the body and mind. It explores the point where the body signals a need for rest and the spirit seeks a way to heal and move forward.

The poem is complete and reflects a journey toward finding strength.

You are worth the sun set and the sun rise. Any child of God is a brother or sister of mine. When things seem impossible, Jesus turned water to Wine. 🍷

@jesusredeemedme2425 me too

@jesusredeemedme2425

I know just how you feel.  I need something to bring me out of what feels like a deep dark pit of sameness, nothingness, loneliness.  I try but I don’t have strong support.  I try to do activities- distract myself but I can not find joy in anything.  Instead, everything’s a reminder of what I used to have

@jesusredeemedme2425 ❤️
