Mental Health
Survive
It’s amazing One day it's here, next day it’s gone One day I’m me, next day I’m not Who’s in control? From darkness to brightness
My heart can only pretend to be someone who cares about me
I remember reading a sentence that said: The relationship between people is far more fragile than we imagined. Many things come to an end, dust to dust, bridge to bridge, road to road.

Trying so hard not to be triggered, BANG, it happened, AGAIN. The bullet of shame shoots out. The bullet of anger explodes.
Rowan FinleyPublished about 9 hours ago in PoetsUnlove me
Unlove me, because I carry the weight of it too heavily, and because I am already detached from myself. * Unlove me, because I am terrified of losing you,
A Wish
A Wish I dream of you More than when you were lost Your baby-sister will be two As your life becomes glossed
A Lady with a PenPublished a day ago in PoetsWhen The Sky Turned Blue
My authentic self felt like a storm that constantly battled with my mind, My thoughts were distorted by your version of who I was,
Carol TownendPublished a day ago in PoetsI'm sorry for fighting for us
I'm sorry I loved you so fiercely, I bled crimson on your floors, rage like caustic acid rain in my mouth. I'm sorry my words, like a tempest, disintegrated everything you toiled to build, towering skyscrapers of emptiness looming over our bed as I clasped your hand. I'm sorry for annihilating all that never existed, and in truth, I'm sorry for endeavoring to create. I'm sorry for striving to flourish, I'm sorry for seeking to harvest the fruits of my labor. I'm sorry for being arduous, a burden for you, a mere tick on your to-do list, a wearisome task.
SouluminosityPublished a day ago in Poets“Women, Beauty in Old Age”, dedicated to all middle-aged and elderly women

As someone who leads a busy life with a demanding work schedule and social commitments, I often forget to take time for myself. It wasn’t until recently that I realized the importance of being alone and how it can benefit both my physical and mental health.

On this day when your culture long ago decided you will be officially a woman, you will be feted and transition to leaving a childhood behind.
Penny FullerPublished a day ago in PoetsHiraeth
I don't often write about my mental health stuff even though I am comfortable and confident (now!) to talk about it. I have no qualms in sharing my bi-polar diagnosis, but this is due to me feeling safe in doing so. This poem Hiraeth was written for my MA in Creative Writing that I am still shocked that I even started let alone completed and passed! I went on to write a few more personal pieces that I will share on Vocal, but this is probably my favourite. 'Hiraeth' is currently being developed as song lyrics by a group in America, should get an update by the end of July. Exciting!
