Always searching
For a reason

Always looking
For a sign

Always seeking
For an answer

Always hunting
All my life

But…

What If
I’m the one who’s lost?

What if
I need to be found?

What if
I’m the one who’s dying?

What if
I’m the one who’s drowned?

Nah… that’s impossible
Loves helping others but never asks for help because they’re convinced they can do everything and don’t need help if they try hard enough? Couldn’t be me.

As I grow older
There were more big problems
Overshadowing the small ones
And so I stopped tending to those small things

Like brushing teeth
Or going for walks
Or bathing
Or eating
Or sleeping

Huh… I think I might be dying
Under great stress, people sometimes forget to take care of themselves. So if you’re one of these people, take a short break and drink water or go for a walk around your neighbourhood. These might seem small, but they’re still important.

I am safe, no matter what my anxiety tells me :)
Look around you, realize that you are safe and that those feelings of anxiety come from scary images within your mind. It doesn't actually exist but your body reacts as if it's real.

fell in love again.
with his little smexy jawline
and cute smiles that stain
my life like sunshine.

but I have to let go.
teach myself to not get obsessed.
the process might be slow,
but at least I won't be depressed.

Broken me not
Broken I forgot
Abandoned alone my childhood disowned
Survival self-taught
Weathered storms so cold
Broken I forgot
A journey alone I fought and fought
Words to decompress
Breakthroughs who forgot
Insight brings light
Questions unanswered
Broken me not
New life New bonds
No more struggling in silence
Using words as a weapon
Strengthen my mind
The world not forgotten my revival profound
Broken past in the open
Broken me not
Reborn my word tree
I sit endlessly think
A million questions revived
I question
WHO ME

Off-subject life continues my words........ Help ME
A new year ends
A new year begins
My mind runs endlessly
reconnecting what was taught using life experience
I'm genuinely self-taught

You questioned my status you turned into doubt
Paper means nothing when the words have no back
Everyone with connection claims they figured it out
Life provides you with options in times only one route
Make something out of nothing
A million questions (just breathe)
One Life My Poem

I wanted you to brush my hair
So we could talk and giggle
To sit at your feet
And be told how to be
A desire to lay my head on your knee
As cigarettes fill the air
The chores are left unfinished
And I am just another boring task.
So today my hair was brushed by me
Breathe...and see the sunset...
Drink some water...and listen to a sonnet,
Dance, write a poem, if you need to, cry
Get a good night's rest, draw the starry sky
Go out, see some friends, and play the guitar,
Feel angry if need be, it will take you far,
Step away from the phone
And spend some time alone
Have a good old shower, a good meal and then
Above everything else, let yourself ask for help,
It is not cowardice to let yourself seen weak,
It only shows the courage to change the life you seek.

Actually,
You're it.

It's a poem I come back to when I feel ungrounded to remind myself of what recenters me. Sometimes i tend to forget, so it's good to have such a kind reminder of my self-care activities.

In the heart of winter’s glow, create a space so bright,
Soft lights, a scented room, a haven from the night.
Turn off the screens that hum and ping, take time to rest,
In silence, find your soul’s calm, your mind at its best.

Wrap yourself in warmth, a bath of peace and care,
Lather in the oils, breathe deep, let go of all despair.
Cherish moments shared, let conversations soar,
Deeper bonds and laughter are what this season’s for.

As night draws near and stars appear in sight,
Reflect on gratitude, a simple, gentle light.
Rest well, sleep deep, let dreams take flight,
So Christmas joy arrives, pure and bright.
