I don't know if this helps or makes things worse but I write poetry about how I am feeling. This is one:

Hurt:

And so it goes

The story of to and fros

The ups and downs
Will sadden the happiest of clowns

Scared of the pain
You are the one left to drain

Each week has a new low
You have become life’s little hoe

Nothing inside is left to hurt
Your heart torn out and stomped in the dirt

The pain turns physical
A razor is now seen as clinical

The loss of a friend
Another step closer to the end

You push and mislead
They want to help and do a good deed

Your mind is now your worst enemy
Will you ever find some form of clarity?

Your hurt and scared
Are you too damaged to be repaired?

Allow people in please!
The pain will begin to ease

Dont be scared of this monster
Be the hero of the story
Tame the beast and learn to conquer

Hi CedricT,

Thank you so much for sharing your powerful poetry with us. You have a great way of expressing yourself.

I am sure there is a thread here with poetry from others, you may be interested in having a look for it.

My mind is a little fuzzy today, so sorry I can't direct you to the right place to find the other thread! Maybe someone else can direct you there!

Poetry and just writing down thoughts are great ways to express how we are feeling and to release what we feel.

Thanks again for sharing and welcome to the community here on the forum!

Cheers from Dools

Hi CedricT,

Me again! I have just found the thread is called The poetry corner - post your poems here by Chris B. It can be found in the Social Zone.

Please know this does not mean you are obliged in any way to post your poems there, you can certainly continue to do so here.

Just thought you might like a look at other people's poetry as well!

Cheers again from Dools

Hi CedricT,

What a heart wrenching poem. I was moved by how you expressed your feelings of despair, pain and loss. But I also liked the message of hope/will to survive at the very end.

Beautiful....thank you so much for sharing...

Would you like to tell us a little more about how you’re holding up? Based on the poem, you seem to be going through a lot...

Perhaps you can share some more of your feelings in another poem (or any other written form that you like). That being said, there’s no pressure of course. Only if you want to...just know we are here if you would like to talk...

Kind and caring thoughts.

Pepper

Thanks for the kind words and support Pepper!

I have a fair few poems I might put up or on the poetry thread. They are quite personal so it is hard to get them up. But I will try

Thanks heaps

Cedric

Holy mother of cows this is incredible!

I'm so happy I'm not the only one! I write to process my grief and pretty much just everything. Usually poetry too, like you. 🙂
