#demotivated - Hello Poetry

It is easy to talk about motivation Nowadays almost everyone does it In fact, being a motivational speaker Has become a quite lucrative profession However, actually motivating yourself Is easier said than done You may think I am being negative Be my guest I would rather be a pessimist And thus risk being called a negative person Than take a step Into the pool of toxic positivity Which is so deep That even the Pacific Ocean Can't hold a candle to it Every time you raise an issue It is brushed aside With a mere flick of the wrist As though it were a pesky fly Buzzing around the dinner table Whatever you're going through Means nothing, absolutely nothing To these motivation experts Who keep gaslighting you at will Until you forget that you even exist These people brainwash the public To believe that no one really has a problem And that all problems are self-created However, the reality is vastly different Everyone has a problem Or rather, a condition Autism, ADHD, Down's Syndrome Bipolar Disorder, OCD, PTSD Selective Mutism, Paranoia, Depression And I can go on and on Of course, it varies by degree From mild to severe And from person to person Nevertheless, a condition is a condition And has to be acknowledged by everyone Including these so-called motivation experts Mental Health is indeed a serious issue Especially in our country And it is a real shame That it has taken the suicide of a celebrity For people to understand its significance Of course, not everyone may suffer to that extent So as to take such extreme steps Instead, someone may lose his job Another may be dumped by her boyfriend Nevertheless, a suffering is a suffering Even if the society doesn't consider it serious enough As my therapist would say When your brain chemicals function differently As compared to those of the people around you Motivating yourself is easier said than done Especially in a country like India Where the support system For people suffering from mental health issues Is still a work in progress

I've long lost mine. The reason my pen's cold and my paper's crumpled. Days become dry, hours, boring. Poems are unfinished, and my motivation's running low. My mind's starting to rust. My heart, insensitive. Eyes are tired. Voice, hoarse. I need help. Please bring it back, even just a drop of the inspiration I lack.

I've long lost mine. The reason my pen's cold and my paper's crumpled. Days become dry, hours, boring. Poems are unfinished, and my motivation's running low. My mind's starting to rust. My heart, insensitive. Eyes are tired. Voice, hoarse. I need help. Please bring it back, even just a drop of the inspiration I lack.
