Mindset

I keep preaching to work hard and follow your dreams,
yet my mindset has been the complete opposite lately. 
I’m sitting around in idleness, achieving absolutely nothing, 
thinking to myself, what’s happening to me?
It’s like I’m purposely choosing to trap myself in this cage, and if I fail? 
I’ll only have myself to blame.

I can’t bring myself to do anything when I’m in this state,
So when I preach to others,I feel so fake.
I’ve gotten used to this feeling, I’ve become comfortable,
I’ve lost count of the days,
It’s all become one long stream of consciousness 
where everyday feels the same.
No routine, no stability - lately, there hasn’t even been a plan A.
Just sleeping, doing nothing and wasting the time away.
I’ve become the person I hate. 
Feeling all sense of hopelessness, 
constantly making the same mistakes again, and again, and again.

My mind has gone blank, I've lost ambition, 
and it just becomes harder and harder to feel inspired,
I guess I could just put my makeup on and pretend like everything’s fine,
but truth is, I’ve never really been a good liar.

So instead I'll hide away from the world - ashamed to show people my face.
beat myself up over the fact that I’ve literally achieved nothing these past couple of days. 
I wish I can wake up and just switch from this phase 
become motivated overnight and start to revise and create. 

It’s so frustrating when my mind doesn’t seem to want to work that way, 
I’ve become so negative and I’m tired of it, 
The only way out is forcing myself to change.

I love the way you laugh out loud The way you make me smile The way you're not afraid to hold my hand, if only for a while I love the way you look at me And the way you always care The way you look me in the eyes And sometimes even stare I love the way you give me hugs That sometimes last forever But think you should believe in yourself more, because you are actually really clever. I love the way you understand me completely, And even though it sounds really cheesy, the way you complete me.

Endings:

I made the decision to leave my university course – and not being able to change courses so late in the year then meant leaving the university and my flat until next year. And this was all damn hard .My life has been full of turbulent change since September, and just when I felt settled again I had to rip it all out from under me . I've been left with debts to pay, had to find a new job, and adjust to being back home.  But , things could still be worse . I’ve got my health, a supportive family and even more supportive friends. And I don’t regret one second at university – even with all the flat drama and the course- as there’s still so much I’ve learnt these past couple of months. And sometimes in life you’ve got to weigh up what is most important to you. It was nearly a year ago now that I choose to do this course . It all happened because I was told that I needed to do a degree with an “actual job” at the end of it, not a useless one.I choose a degree that...

How are you?

How are you? Three simple words. Infinite answers. What answer do you wish to hear today? Do you   want to hear about my pain, the heaviness, thoughts and fears that I keep? Do you   wish to know about my web of secrets and lies that are tearing me apart inside? What about the self-harm or the suicidal thoughts? Do you want to know how alone I feel and how many nights I have cried myself to sleep this week? And do you want to know for   you , to help   me , or to simply have something to   talk about at  your next meal? Think carefully. Don’t want to know? No,   I didn't think so. So I guess I'm   fine   thank you, how are you?
