Mental Health

Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning
In a sea of thoughts and emotions
I try to swim to the surface
But the waves keep pulling me down

Sometimes I feel like I'm flying
In a sky of dreams and hopes
I soar above the clouds
And feel the sun on my face

Sometimes I feel like I'm nothing
In a world of noise and chaos
I fade into the background
And nobody notices me

Sometimes I feel like I'm everything
In a universe of wonder and beauty
I shine like a star
And inspire others to do the same

Sometimes I feel like I'm human
In a journey of highs and lows
I embrace the complexity
And accept myself as I am

This is a wonderful piece of expression, Cade. I feel so much the same way but haven't ben able to express it as beautifully as you have here. Great job.

I like how your feelings run the gamut of emotions. Here's to not getting too high or too low. ~ Equilibrium and Balance, Gershon
