So I am a bit of a wordsmith, lol. Sometimes it can really help to be reminded gently of simple truths. Feel free to print this as a reminder if it helps you.
Have you ever felt lost,
so completely alone?
Has your life become tangled,
with 'weeds', overgrown?
Do the things you found fun once
not inspire anymore?
Do you sit there for hours,
wondering 'What is the score?'...
Consider this for a moment
...life wasn't always this way,
and what seems hard right now,
will in time, fade away...
Life's a series of problems
that will always need solving
it just goes on and on
like a door that's revolving
When you're down you can't see
the way out, so you stew
and your thoughts turn so inward,
keep you fixed there, becomes glue
and the more that struggle
the more the bonds tighten
and before long you find you're in trouble
and you feel very frightened
Yet it's just an illusion,
made up in your mind
oh I know it feels real
and it's scary, unkind...
but don't you be fooled
in your moments of weakness
this is NOT you my friend
you can rise from this sadness
Take one very small step
in what you KNOW to be true
then another, and another
for that is the REAL YOU
You were string once, know this
and you will be again
you have to change your perspective
and see yourself as a friend
it's not easy, I know
but do this you must
and...as you do this
you will slowly gain trust
All it takes is a small shift
to again feel your power
then keep on moving forward
and never let your thoughts sour
keep on moving on upward
a tiny bit every day
you can do this, you know it
you've just got to be brave
Cast aside any doubts
for they are what hold you back
just refocus again
and you'll be back on track!
Best,
Grant
