JodeyIsNotADork - Hello Poetry

As I lay here, the two of you beside me, I feel at peace. And though I can't sleep with all of the thoughts running through my brain, I feel as if I don't even need to. You both give me the strength to keep going. I know that fights happen. I know that things get tough, and money gets tight, and days get tiresome, but I also know that I will always have a place to call home. A place where I can finally rest my eyes and collapse mindlessly into a warm embrace that will mend all of the wounds I may have had. I have never felt such love for anyone until I met you, Adam. I never thought I could feel safe to let my heart run to someone again until you beckoned it your way. And I know this all sounds stupid and maybe it's because I'm sleep deprived, but I want you to know that you mean the world to me. I love you with my whole being and I truly hope you can see that.

I don't know what else to do. My grades are slipping, I barely eat, My anxiety is worse than it's ever been, And my depression makes me barely able to function. I don't want to tell anyone, I don't want to be a bother. I feel like I **** up everything I do, I don't want people to worry about me anymore. I'm not worth the time and effort, All I am is a clingy ******* who makes everyone around me upset, Why even bother being here anymore...

I need to write this down

I don't know what else to do. My grades are slipping, I barely eat, My anxiety is worse than it's ever been, And my depression makes me barely able to function. I don't want to tell anyone, I don't want to be a bother. I feel like I **** up everything I do, I don't want people to worry about me anymore. I'm not worth the time and effort, All I am is a clingy ******* who makes everyone around me upset, Why even bother being here anymore...

Grandparents: "Happy birthday, sweetie!" Aunt: "How does it feel to be old?" Uncle: "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!" Cousin: "Happy birthday! I love you!" Girlfriend: "Have a very happy birthday, my love!" Through all the enthusiasm and happy birthday wishes, I still feel an empty hole. A depressive state that won't go away. Five years... Five years in a row... My parents forgot my birthday...

Life has the tendency to push you down, as if you wouldn't make a difference in it. Life has the tendency to convince you of impossible thoughts, as if you are worthless to it. Life has the tendency to make you feel like you don't belong, as if no one truly understands you in it. What life doesn't do is show you how wonderful you truly are, like rainfall in the desert. What life doesn't do is make you realize that you are worth more than it can offer, like food to a homeless man. What life doesn't do is tell you how resilient you are, like flowers through the sidewalk cracks.

Some people in this world will hurt you; others are band-aids that will help you heal. You just have to figure out who is who.

As the little minds drift off to sleep with a strife, the unsung heroes of the night come to life. Protection from the succubus of the eventide, using their powers of whim with a glide. Stitched smiles and button eyes defend the adolescents under the shine of crescents. While the nightmares attempt to emerge, the guardians uphold with a surge. Unable to pirate their minds, they dissipate with a wind. The unsung heroes take their win with a fain, therefore the children of the world are safe again.

Unsung Heroes Stuffed with Cotton

As the little minds drift off to sleep with a strife, the unsung heroes of the night come to life. Protection from the succubus of the eventide, using their powers of whim with a glide. Stitched smiles and button eyes defend the adolescents under the shine of crescents. While the nightmares attempt to emerge, the guardians uphold with a surge. Unable to pirate their minds, they dissipate with a wind. The unsung heroes take their win with a fain, therefore the children of the world are safe again.

Never in my life did I ever believe I would find someone like you. Never in my life did I ever believe I would find someone to help me through this hell hole of a life, for you will always be the one.

Never in my life did I ever believe I would find someone like you. Never in my life did I ever believe I would find someone to help me through this hell hole of a life, for you will always be the one.

Writing down your thoughts, feeling deep and personal, rereading what you wrote, and feeling like an ****** Erase. New introduction, new formation of words, unable to write them down correctly, cursing into the empty room. Erase. Sitting with your arms crossed, huffing as you readjust in your seat, taking a calming breathe as you try again, realizing that all of your efforts are futile. Give up.

Writer's block
