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

Cade, our emotions change constantly alike the ebb and flow of the sea, it’s all part of humanity. Smile even when your heart is aching for smiling is elevating. Welcome to PoetrySoup and keep writing… Belle
