#feels poems on Hello Poetry

Pre Nov 2018

maybe I'm oversensitive
overthinking
overachieving
overstressing
overdoing
but that does not mean
I suffer less
it means I suffer more
because I need others
to tell me
that I'm worth something
if not
then I'm worth
nothing at all

an oldie from a while ago that still rings true

Residual Effects

Darkness envelops my room as I turn off the light, cut by a sliver of soft, orange glow radiating through my curtains from the streetlamp outside.
The world is silent, save for the staccato patter of rain hitting the pavement and the whir of the fridge in the next room.
A subtle taste of mint fills my mouth, soon to be replaced by the bitter flavours of the morning.
The scent of coconut from my shampoo mixes with the homeliness of my bedsheets as I climb underneath, lulling me into a sleepy daze.
As I turn over, I reach my arm out, hoping to feel warmth radiating from your side of the bed. Instead, all I feel is the soft scratch of flannel and the delicate caress of a tear rolling down my cheek.

You...

Your eyes,
the stars of my constellation
Your words,
the cauldron of my frustrations

Count me Out

Who am I?
A poet who wants
To stargaze?
Sure,
But in my ways,
I am blinded-
Like I'm bound
By chains of depression-
Anxiety-
I don't mind it.
Let it flow into my
Dead head
As I drift off to bed.
I can be perfect-
And then the worst.
I can be amazing-
And then a curse-
A hex-
A spell-
Leading people to a personal hell,
Like I do to myself.
Positivity bleeding,
And beating out of me
Like a river of blood
To a make a flood
Out of tears.
Beyond my years,
And fears-
I have my own shadow
Of doubt.
So now
I'm out
Of the count.

Depressed feels

The monster that has no name.
The faceless beast that makes one feel
Utterly helpless
Simply by pretending to be
As warm as a blanket on a cold night
But really wrapping one
In a layer of despair and melancholy
Wound so tight that
We can barely feel the heaving of our chest,
Reducing the bravest souls
To a weeping, dishevelled mess
Curled up in a ball on the unwelcoming concrete
Eyes shut tight
Trying to block out anything
That may ever inflict pain
Ever again.

sorry i haven't uploaded, just not been in the mood to write

Rose Who Knows Oct 2018

Release

I feel my heart strengthening
I feel Your presence
in this quiet place

You matter God
You urge me forwards
You welcome me in

I cry,
"It's so hard to let go!"
You say, "Fly"
but I'm scared of heights?
You say, "Fly"
but what if I fall?
You say, "Not for long,
you will fly,
you will soar."
but I'm scared...
You say, "Rose, have I ever let you down?
Have I ever left you alone?
Other people have,
but I am
God."

I wrote "Release" right after "Provision." I felt a tugging on my heart to really listen to God and embrace the fear and to turn myself over to God. I feel broken and I feel the brokenness in other people, but I know I am redeemed in Christ and all will be well. It's so hard to let go of the anxiety and to instead be present with God, but it's what He wants me to do. So, I will try my best to follow God.
