Sit tight and heal

'It's not that I don't want to be happy , it's that , despite my best efforts,
I can't bring myself to be happy.'

I feel trapped in my mind,embarrassed and ashamed,
but why did I have to feel this way?

I have a family, friends and good results, therefore I must be okay?
Yet all I ever seem to feel is sadness and grey.

People will tell me to try sport: go for a walk, listen to meditations.
If only this could be solved by some talking therapy and medication.
But this is a disease that affects every aspect of my life-
my friendships,my family and my education.
And it never seems to be solved , so I'm left with frustration.

My therapist will say, so why are you sad?
Well , if I knew the answer to that ,maybe I wouldn't feel so bad.
All I know is I wake everyday feeling like shit,
This is my norm now , I've lost my spirit.

But, where is the fairness of it all?
People tell me you chose how you feel, like I enjoy watching myself fall.
Yet, somewhere in my self-loathing I put up a wall,
because I don't want others to see this pain or my flaws.

I'd really like to believe that I'm not my 'demons in my mind'
That I'm more than my 'hurt or my pain', that I feel inside.
That I'm stronger then it all , that I can fight.
That this is all just 'temporary' ,but it may take some 'time' to feel.

All I've got to do apparently is 'sit tight and heal'.

September: For my friends

I looked for inspiration for this online, researched poems about friendship, looked at ones that rhymed. You see, I wanted this to be good, I wanted this one to matter. These words I wish you to read, After seeing your faces, hearing your laughter and chatter. It’s been months since we’ve all been together, And I didn’t know how It would be, would it be awkward,stilted,would the experience be crappy? But I don’t know what I was worried about , we all fit together as one, tonight was nothing but warm ,sparkling and fun.

December : old habits die hard:

Old habits die hard, So roll a dice , and lay down a card And neck your drink, pour a shot, drink until alls forgot. Could grab my fags light em up or add some ket into my cup Might as well get all the drugs because any will do numb my pain For an hour or two. I’ll grab the takeaway, Stuff my gob More and more that’ll do the job.

Sunday Motivation

Let me guess, the world’s not fair and it’s against you, Go on then, give up like you always do, mope around feeling sorry for yourself, What’s the matter? Can’t handle the truth? Would you like me to sugar coat it for you? Tell you that everything’s going to be fine   and come up with some easy excuse? Well I’m not going to,   Because life’s not easy and you’re not a fool. You keep acting like the victim, Constantly saying how things aren’t going your way when, the choice has always been right there in front of you. You’ve got the tools, A working brain, a functioning body   So get a grip and stop acting like you haven’t got a clue Yes, “Life’s not fair”, and things aren’t always going to go your way, tell me something new. I hate to break it to you, but the world isn’t gonna be laid out nicely in front of you.   The biggest mistake is believing that you don’t have control over your life, That it’s not a choice, when that couldn’t be furthe...
