you are the only you

just

can't get out of bed

give anymore

just

think what the fuck

why the fuck

Just

Close your eyes, sleep and rest

Rest and sleep, recharge

Even when it all feels too much

*

Know

Some days are bad,

some better

Some days are rainy Tuedays

Some sunny Saturdays

Some can go fuck themselves

*

pulling yourself together

cheering yourself up

getting on with life

trying to put on a smile

*

trivial solutions

*

nonsense

*

Not

tough enough?

Who said

Not

loveable enough?

Who said

Not

enough?

*

Who said

*

Point them out

call them out

*

take away

the power

the hold

they have

over you

*

through

belitting you

knocking you

*

Remember

*

one thing

*

just one thing

*

you are not just only you

*

you are the only you

*

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: Just as I said in my other recent piece, this was thrown together while waiting for Part 4 of my Instrusive Thoughts of a Psychopath to be published (It's been in the review stage for two days now)

    Absolutely true, whether fortunately or not.

    Point them out, call them out... This piece speaks to the depths of soul resonance. Perfectly grounding by design, what a journey! I admire the empowerment this piece holds - Brilliant work Paul!!

    And the world is such a better place with the one and only you in it! LOVE this one! Specifically where you say that some days can "go fuck themselves" Lol! Even though that line made me laugh, this was truly inspiring and so full of truth—take the power away by calling it out. Just bloody brilliant stuff here, pal!

  • Take away the power they have. Yes, I would love to kill them. I am the only me, so I gotta become the best version of me hehehe. Loved your poem!
