I had nothing but hope,
That undying hope,
Pure magic.
I was in darkness,
I was bent and broken,
My difficulties had doubled,
My hurts had increased,
I carried my worries under an umbrella of fear.
But I have a stubborn heart,
I had faith and a basket of beliefs,
"No" word was not in my dictionary,
I started to live under the roof of hope.
My sufferings gave me strength,
My grief softened me,
My colleagues  betrayal wisened me.
I started to stay positive and confident,
I opened myself to criticism,
Above all, I infused myself to hard work,
At last my optimism  paid off.
ME
I am not that big muscle guy
I am just who I am
No six-pack but 'm stronger in the heart
Handsome inside
Dynamic in the mind
Best of my kind
Always being logistic
Positive vibe makes me optimistic

in the concave of a raindrop sits a hue of hope,
a rain to bring forth a harvest,
water to restore the greenery of this mountain.

Revitalise.

Revive.

Renew.

Inside my soul sits a hue of hope.
this poem is about is all about mindset and optimism. how perspective is the axis of how we view ourselves and the world.

I felt that my body could bleed no more,
That I was handing it out to the wolves in gallons,
My hands became sore and bruised from dragging my body from the lowest pits
And still I can clench my teeth and find the strength to stand
I am able to make fists and fight for the hope that I am replenishing day by day
It was 4 am and I'd listened to "get well soon" by Ariana Grande about 10 times and started to feel completely overcome. It's a healing song, and I definitely needed it after the year I've had. I highly recommend it.

The doctor came in
Clipboard and lab coat
The diagnosis clear
Clinical optimism

I thank him
I smile as I leave
I hear birdsong
I take the prescription

You don't understand
You people all cry and sob
You people are who I want to join
You make me change

It takes time but eventually the birdsong disappears for everyone.

Today has been a good day
I feel stable
Today has been a good day
No bad thoughts plagued my mind
Today has been a good day
I got out of bed with ease
Today has been a good day
I showered and dressed myself without tiring
Today has been a good day
I didn’t think about dying
Today has been a good day
I didn’t obsess over the small things
Today has been a good day
I did a full day’s work
Today has been a good day
I even managed to smile
Today has been a good day
Because I’m alive
Depression doesn’t always win

i want my poems
to be profound,
beautiful,
meaningful.
but i
also
try to write about life
which is
none of those things.

fall in love with a man with arms like
beacons in the night
that promise safe harbor
with eyes that glint with
mirth and optimism
with hands that cannot
get enough of you
with a voice that soothes
with sturdy roots
and a healthy relationship
with his mother
with a man who understands pain
and understands that it doesn't last forever
and understands that joy is the same
who cherishes the tiny beautiful things
fall in love with a man who is thankful
and makes you laugh
that makes you feel welcome
that has stories to tell
and who listens to yours
