i'm beyond stressed.
i can't help but wonder when the good lord will let me rest.
the pressure is building upon my shoulders.
like the ocean swells that crash upon the cliffside boulders.
all of these tiresome, daily meddles.
i'm waiting for the moment it all comes crashing down and the dust finally settles.

sad poetry,
that's what my mind says to me.
let it all all out,
vent and then try and pout.
because newpoetica, if you are honest with who you really are,
you can get yourself feeling up to par.
keep a healthy mind set,
because that's the least you can actually get.
the world is spinning,
your light is dimming.
and it's okay, my mind tells me,
but it's not okay to not live, because there is still so much more beauty for you to see.

i had an extremely difficult day, so i decided to log onto hello poetry to hopefully release any pain i was feeling or in reality cope with it. what i logged on to see made me cry, but this time today they were happy tears. 36 notifications of people appreciating my work. it's not the attention but the fact that i have been having a really hard time with everything. i have been confident for a years now, but the past two years and especially thesee last two months... i just haven't wanted to be me anymore. i have ******* up so much and have so much emotional baggage. i wrote a bit of poetry when i was younger, but started using it to cope last December in 2018. it has helped me in more ways than one. today i logged on to write that life isn't worth it and how I wanted to be numb, but seeing that maybe I have something worth it to pursue as a hobby and something relaxing in life. so thank you for everything, i didn't ever expect feeling so grateful to those on the internet :))
