Over the past few months,
I've realized nobody is perfect.
Not even myself.

I've realized it's okay to fumble.
It's okay to fall.

It's okay let my emotions
Get the best of me.

It's okay to be angry.
It's okay to be sad.

And I've realized
It's okay to slip up
And fall off the tracks.

I know I'll get right back on the path,
And head towards the direction
The direction towards redemption
And the acceptance of self,
Instead of seeking approval from others.

I know I've made mistakes in the past.
And I've made mistakes in the present day.

For far too long,
I've lived my life,
With a cloud of regrets
Hanging over me.

I can't let the past or present,
Dictate how I live my life.

To move forward,
I have to learn to love myself,
Instead of seeking love from others.

I must learn to forgive myself,
So I can forgive others.

Life is filled with trial and error,
We're all trying to find ways
To find solutions to problems
Instead of trying to fix ourselves.

Today is the day
I work on fixing myself.

I can't live my life
Focusing on the past.

It's time to enjoy life.

It's time to move forward.
This poem is a direct response to my poem from yesterday. In the poem, "Dear Diary: I'm an Addict (Part II)," I write about my mental addictions and seeking help. This poem realizes that, even though I'm not perfect and make mistakes, there is hope. I will learn to love myself eventually. I will learn to forgive myself.

Today begins the day I admit my addictions and seek help.

I've been staring at this for a minute.
Empty page and my mind just went blank.
Have I lost it, forgotten the meaning?
Where's the way for turning it back?

I've got such a tentative nature.
Can't decide what to do with it all.
How to manage and tame the emotions,
Set my mind to reach only one goal?

Don't belong in my country of origin,
Don't believe in the same things they do.
I can't bare all the lies, they are horrible
Wish to choose my own life, start anew.

See, I had an unfortunate error
Being born where I was has it's price
No one cares who you are or what's fair
They assume, you are bad in their eyes.

Have a wish that's so vibrant and lively.
I might never be able to be.
Who I am, show them my personality.
And sometimes I just don't want to live.
Had to stop to cry while writing this honestly

A faint light is flooding the sky
What did I choose and line up?
Colours of tears are overlaid
How much am I abnormal?
Am I distorted?
Am I broken?
Even so, I want,
.
.
I want to breathe
Today is world mental health day. Everything will be all right, maybe not today, maybe one day.

Will I ever find
What I'm looking for
Lake Sep 2019
i need to find some strength
to get through today
cause the more that i wait
i might make a mistake

cause everything happens for a reason
and flowers never bloom out of season
it never goes according to plan
with my feet still stuck in the sand

it's all just target practice
i miss and miss till i got it
i never really aimed correctly
but once in awhile i get lucky

most of the time i'm tired
of all these shots i've fired
and i don't have what's required
and the date has now expired

I can't see anything anymore.


What was it I was looking for?

What am I doing here?

Er

Why am I in so much fear?

Err

Am I breaking down?

Erro

I feel like I am going to drown.

Erro

Everything is disappearing.

Error

Everything is dissolving into an ERROR
Experimental purposes?

there's this thing
going  in my mind that I have to set free

4 5 6
I have been keeping this
for a long time already

6 7 8
the more I contain it
it feels like to break free

breathing in and out
trying to clear the clouds
wont let this anxiety take over me

"Digital Error" / "Blind People"

By Arcassin Burnham

Inside the machine,
fake ads inside the machine,
Promises inside the machine,
Hopelessness inside the machine,
False love inside the machine,
Taxes pending inside the machine,
Fake news that you see on t.v they're posting everyday
inside the machine,
Edited videos inside the machine,
There are ghost inside the machine,
Mislead media inside the machine,
Copy voices inside the machine,
Paying music inside the machine,
hypnosis inside the machine,
Don't use your voice cause they could hear
on the other side of machines.
I do not compute , to this stupidity,
Even though I have half a brain and I don't
have my diploma don't mean that I'm
gullible,
Just means that I'm acceptable in this
matrix , how can you stand to take this?
While you stand around lying to yourself,
Needing no help , need a lot help,
But you won't cry for help,
They make you pay taxes in this machine,
Their killing black people in this machine,
The things that see in this world isn't real
and the food is fake , the whole real is a
machine,
They put a lot stress on your plate for diner
Of satan , its more than you really could
keep,
We have to revolt and take it to corporates if you know what I mean.

/

How do you find the pieces to your own
puzzle?
How could you make all of this make
sense?
Are you afraid that the world will end and
you won't get to tell your friends,
And family how much you love them when
you know your world will end?
Paralleled earth , its bout' time we huddle
up,
Ignoring what you can't hide is simply
not an option,
All the demons , all the bickering, you
could simply give it up,
Or end in an endless pit of self destructing
concoctions,
Blind people,
Blind blind people wanna ignore it,
Can't confront the inner demons if you
always run from it,
Most high is out there letting her pain go
to strummin',
Picked up those lessons and thats word
to miss Lauryn.
