Cade Smith Poet Free verse

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

Gershon Wolf June 4, 2023 at 7:50 AM I like how your feelings run the gamut of emotions. Here's to not getting too high or too low. ~ Equilibrium and Balance, Gershon

Beryl Edmonds June 4, 2023 at 2:09 AM 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
