Pessimism..
What is pessimism?
Pessimism is when effort isn’t
It’s when the darkest roads
inside the tunnels that you drive
feels safer than your destination
It’s when that internal fear of peace
Sabotages your beliefs
so you refuse to listen
When that voice of reason
in you're head
becomes a danger to your safety
So you decide to give in,
to pessimism..

Pessimism..

When every new light
feels surrounded by a darkness
Every new height
keeps you grounded at the bottom
And every road traveled, no doubt,
has road damage regardless..
Ya it’s easy to say nothing works out
because your own self-sabotage
seems like the safer route
But quitting isn’t an option
So as you repair your own optics
let this water your garden:

Baby put down those narcotics
Because there’s an end to that bottle
And it ain’t what you’re wanting
This life is the gift that you’re given
to understand the lows
make you appreciate the highs
And the highs
make you appreciate the climb
And learn the sharpest knowns
come from the darkest moments
for you to appreciate your shine
So let your heart and mind align
To stop from only ever growing tired…
And only ever grow higher
only ever grow upwards..
only ever grow wiser.

Pessimism

when that optimism seems gone
Realize that you’ve been there
for yourself all along
And that life works for you,
You can always find your light
You just needed a little push
And in the end, It’ll all be right.
..everything is going to all be alright.
A contrast poem to my previous poem “Optimism”.
Lidia Jan 12
Please stop feeling lonely,
This poem is for you only.
Remember, you are not alone,
Do consider me your own.

With your problems,
may you be able to cope;
May God grant you another new hope.


Don't you worry, oh dear;
I will always be your well-wisher.

Be bold and you'll soon gain,
The strength to endure your pain

Oh LONELY HEARTS,
Trust the words of mine ,
You'll soon be completely fine.
Soul Writing to me is,
writing from the soul,
that is Deep from within,
just let your soulful words flow.
Whatever the trails and tribulations,
through lyrics, just let it go,
inspiring words will lift you higher,
even when you are feeling low.
Having Frustrations on every hand,
even when people just really don't know.
motivation is the key, and
encouragement will help you to grow,
It's deep down in your heart,
So, let these words flow from the Soul!!!

Walk mildly,
slowly like an ascetic
Like you see the destination,
its shams and pretence,
Its momentary bliss
And the new destination again,

Walk like nothing excites you
Or worry you,
your gnawing past or
hungry present or
starving future,
Pay heed to none,

They will doubt you
Many will cast abusive looks
when you undertake a task
inconcievable by them,
Pay no attention
Move on like you are deaf
Speak not like you are dumb,

Many greats have walked this path
Deaf, Dumb and Blind,
So cut the noise
shut your eye,
This mediocre crowd
is not worthy of your attention.

Move on like an ascetic
Like you know your destination.

precision to
envision what i need
my wants
are very difficult to place
ritalin though
helps me
but i can’t imagine the continuation of what feels like a sin
wording is everything
i’ve only tried it ten times
******* pornographic depictions of your ******* fixations
fuel my motivation for more
to give you and i the world
and continue to love you my little *****
i shouldn’t say these things
but the nasty ways
we profess our love
are the most raw and beautiful displays
of human nature

Your soul is worth saving
Your heart is worth shaping
Your legacy's changing
You're not worth erasing

I promise.
Whatever you may have done
No matter the person you think you've become
You're someone, worth waiting for, your story has only begun

You Deserve
To be
Whole
Loved
Smiling
Inspired

You deserve
To feel every thrill of living
Because you are an individual that is unlike anyone else in the world
You deserve to realize
That your existence is a blessing

So do not settle for misery or dissatisfaction
Life has more to offer you than a broken soul
Mitch Prax Aug 2020
You are
still alive.
Breathe,
heal,
and you will thrive.
Just know that
this too shall pass
as you overcome
this impasse.

There will be many nights
Where you see a starless sky

There will be days
When it pours and rains endlessly

There will be evenings
When you wish you were
Anywhere but here

There will be times when
All you want is to be rescued

However, know that these times
Are simply ephemeral
They will not last till an eternity
Heyaless May 2020
Auroral side of the moon could not last without the half wrapped in shadow. 
It intimate you to have endurance of all the heart aches .
Seize the lights in your soul ,
Sail to stay alive beyond simple existence
You must be more stubborn than the weaves . I am a glad I'm lost at sea!
Glory to the wind who guides me
For I can not see
Yet have shown me the sailor I am to be!
You are alone in this world , you have to survive no matter how much pain you feel , you have to stay alive and survive the best version of yourself
