#selfhelp poems on Hello Poetry

Nick Acosta Apr 2019

The mind churns and turns like clockwork
Using positive thinking like a machine uses gears

However there’s an area in the mind where dark thoughts lurk

The mind also unlocks repressed secrets to expose our biggest fears

Negative thinking bringing pain to the observer

Washing over the feelings the masses like an immensely powerful fervor

Keeping the head above water may seem challenging

But given the right resources and surrounding

You too can make it through the dark without losing the light

No matter how dark it may get
it never leaves your sight

For self care is the torch leading the way

Sometimes it’s about the journey not the destination

However that doesn’t mean the destination can’t be as great is all I will say

No Worries

Faint whispers in the day and dark.
Smiles fade into clever camouflage as the truth builds walls miles high.
Mirror tells lies, and truths I can't stand to observe.
Body rejects sustinace; swipe left, try again tomorrow.
Mind glossed in walls that reverberate, ever growing louder.
Skin crawls like a million earthworms worms dreaming of becoming butterflies.
Decaying in plain site, hidden behind a thousand "okays" and "alrights."
Verbatim honesty escapes my tounge.
Soul ever inching toward the light.

When you broke me.

Did she save you...
Pick up your pieces and fit them back together oh, so perfectly?

Did she save you?
Or were you just too afraid to be alone?

Self Help

Sometimes in this world,
Everyone
Loses their minds and
Find the negative---

Hating
Everything and anyone who doesn't believe them.
Longing to hope other
People think the same.

But if we all think the same, the world would be a boring place.

Title by Good Charlotte; another inspiration of mine.
Be You and Don't be afraid to be anyone else.

noise

you're smiling at me
is it pity?
it doesn't quite reach your eyes...

'they feel sorry for you'

you're laughing
is it real?
there is an edge to it...

'they don't find you funny'

you're telling me to be happy
but my voice is comming from your lips
"stop being sad, you're annoying when your sad"

'they want you to leave'

im doubting every expression you make
every word spoken turns against me
the world is no longer welcoming

'they are telling you what you already know'

"YOU DISSAPOINT ME"
"YOU NEVER LEARN"

'do it'

"WE DON"T NEED YOU"
"STOP BEING SAD"
"YOU HAVE NO REASON TO BE SAD"

'do it'

"UGLY"
"FAT"
"STUPID"
"DEPRESSES"

'do it'

"IWILLNEVERLOVEYOUYOUWILLNEVERFITINALONELOOSERWHYCANTYOUJUSTBENORMALWHATISWRONGWITHYOUSTUPIDSTUPIDSTUPIDJUSTGOAWAYWEAREBETTEROFFWITHOUTYOU"

'DO IT'

stop
please
just stop

but the words aren't yours

they're mine

A Strangled Cry

A strangled cry,
A scream.
As loud as a whisper,
Screeching yet unheard.
Who's to save this damsel?
Who brought on her distress?
A heart of glass she bore.
Scattered,
Were the shattered glass pieces.
On and on she picks what she can find,
But what's lost is gone forever.

-Wayward❤

I don't even know what this is. This is a little different from my usual writing style. Have fun lol
Much love! Stay safe, stay wayward!

Time off

I feel the need of a soothing music
A little now
and a little later
I feel the need for a short break
A little dream
then im all better.

You

You may feel down and out
You may feel like you can’t get out
You may feel worthless
You may feel like no one will ever love you
You may feel homeless
You may feel selfish
You may feel confused
You may feel passion
You hold on for the ride
The day will come
Things will be alright

Switch

The light I
seek is here
within me, if
only I see the switch.

One time, I had a mental breakdown and a friend said to me "you keep searching for light outside, you have to understand that this light and happiness you look for is inside of you, if only you can find your way in this darkness and see the switch"
It never made sense then, until I discovered that I hold the power to liberate myself from misery and hopelessness.
