Everything’s a Mess #Depression #MentalHealth #lonely #Addiction #Poetry
In the eyes of a teenage crystallized
Oh, the prettiest of lights
That hang the hallways of the home
And the cries from the strangers out at night
They don't keep us up at night
We have the curtains drawn and closed
We all are living in a dream
But life ain't what it seems
Oh, everything's a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everything's a mess
But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream
Leave me to dream…

My poem about feeling I’m not good enough #Poetry #feelings #Selfworth
I know I’m annoying,
You don’t have to tell me
I know I’m weird,
I hear it a lot
I know I’m not beautiful,
People remind me everyday
I know I’m boring,
But,
That’s the one thing that just isn’t quite me
People have made me see
That they don’t like me
So I shut down
My thoughts pound
Scared to move or do anything
Because I’m scared I’ll get another comment about me again
All I wanted was to have fun but I can’t, because that’s the one thing I’m not-
And I know that too, people have shown me through and through…

Alone and Depressed #MentalHealth #Depression #lonely #Poetry
I'm sittin' here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wastin' my time, I got nothin' to do
I'm hangin' around, I'm waitin' for you
But nothing ever happens
And I wonder
I'm sittin' here, I missed the power
I'd like to go out, takin' a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired, put myself into bed
Well, nothing ever happens
And I wonder
-Lemon Tree, by Fool’s Garden

Writing out your thoughts
I've been playing with Meta AI for 2 weeks. I ask it for a prompt for a senryu and then I write it and then it critiques my work. I have really been enjoying this exercise. I've written some really deep senryu.
Senryu is similar to haiku. It's got the same 5 7 5 structure. But haiku is usually about nature while senryu is about the human condition.
Do you like writing poetry? If you feel up to it, share a poem with the group.

I WON THE POETRY CONTEST 🎉🎉
I'm feeling so accomplished. I've never won anything in my entire life. So to win this, along with getting my poem published is huge for me. I'm turning my tragic story into a world of hope and inspiration. I'm finding my place in the world. I'm finally accomplishing my goal and my mission in life. I hope and pray by telling my story to the world that it's made a positive and significant difference to many lives around the world.
Coming from someone like myself, I have never believed in myself, nor did anyone in my childhood and teenage years. It was a very lonely feeling. I never knew my place in the world. But I didn't allow that to stop me. I kept pushing and pushing. I never gave up. And now look at me. I'm getting my story and all my hard work noticed, along with getting my poetry published and I won a poetry contest. So with that said, no matter what you've been through in life, never allow your past to define who you are. Keep believing in yourself! Don't allow what everyone else thinks of you to deter you from accomplishing your hopes and dreams in life!! Get your story out there and use it to impact lives all around the world.
I now know why God allowed such horrific things to happen to me. He knew and believed I would have the strength and courage to use my story as a way to help others, to be an inspiration to many around the world. He chose me. Yes granted what happened to me felt like I was living in hell but I rose above it, I used it for good. I always fall back on Romans 8:28 when I question why God allowed such horrific acts to fall upon me and defile my character and destroy my spirit. But when I read Romans 8:28, it makes complete sense. It says "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
