A poem I wrote I know it’s not great
I’m always so stressed
worrying about everything
I never get any rest
I don’t even have time to catch my breath
every second of every day I’m worrying
I worry about stupid little things
like how I dress
and things like “what will happen once I’m dead?”
there’s always something going through my head
I just need a break
I don’t know how much more of this I can take
I can’t spend any more nights laying awake
I’m driving myself insane
someone please just help me
distract me for even just a day
just help me calm the thoughts in my brain

Hi,
I liked your poem! Very insightful. I write poems about my mental health and found it helps me to sort out my inner thoughts and struggles. Have you tried to chat with any listeners on 7cups? I met some extraordinary people here and hope you have too. Keep writing, you're very good at it!
Blessings, Day
@juliak1968
thank you. This poem meant a lot to me, that’s exactly why I write them because it helps me with my feelings. I hav Ethan app called Rhymers block you should check it out you can post your proms for other people to see. I have tried but I haven’t had much luck I’ve found one really good listener but everyone else I’ve gotten aren’t the best
@Nala31
That sounds interesting. I have a few poems that really helped me get through some big struggles. I sat on a bench every day for a year as I first went to get on meds and get two therapists and then I wrote this one about that bench:
Writing poems has helped me a lot as i organize my mind, i feel the need to rhyme as I pass the time, reflecting feelings and deeper meanings often coming from my Day dreaming. It seems to me, the blind do see things more eloquently, so i cannot deny these records of my trying to inspire lighting a fire under thee😊 (Where the sun don't see)
Life's a Bench! & Sit Happens!
I imagine this tree was very wise; is now in disguised as a place that I cant watch the time slowly go by, so I shall honor her respectfully by carving her decoratively, a reminiscent of my retrospectively pondering my destiny. 😊
@juliak1968
I have a few that have really helped me too. I’m not the greatest at it I don’t really follow the rules of writing poems I just write what I’m feeling and make it rhyme I guess but it still helps me. You’re poem was really good and I love the play on words for the name
@Nala31
Awesome, keep enjoying the writing :-) If I can find any other of my poems I will post them here and I hope you do the same 😊
@juliak1968

PERCEPTION
Perceiving what we believe in is deceiving and has
no meaning as life's mistreating dishes out this beating leaving us bleeding..... But we cant see it if we
close our minds, and we cant think about this when we're blind, so walk
away and you will find, a friend here waiting for a sign! So take your
time and organize whats on your mind and you'll find you're not really
behind, so relax your eyes and realize you're fine just the way you are.
And you can reach for the stars, put cream on the scars and healing
transpires. The delusional parts only confuse our goals and corrupt our
souls leaving us with a heart full of holes. Set goals now and your mind
will see what closed eyes have failed to believe, don't let sight
deceive keeping us on our knees; throwing logic into the breeze. Winds
at your back excited, Winds of hope reignited me. Step by step confide
so we can share secrets of life thinking "what could be" If we let it,
if you hold back you'll regret it.
There, Now I've gone and said it!
We
hold ourselves down; Dirty on the ground I've found myself tormented
and bound by invisibility. I've ignored all possibility, so I must set
myself free of a self-inflicted confined mystery that causes so much
mind-bending misery
