Alexis Y. Poet Free verse

My Diary

As of late, I don't know whether I'm coming or going.
I try to remain positive and keep my head above water.
But I feel like I'm sinking and on the verge of drowning.
I feel like a robot programmed to things that are not so.
Like I'm in a heavy fog that's surrounded by darkness.
My ink spilled may sound sad but this is therapeutic for me.
I believe in the bright side even if I can't feel it, I  believe in hope
even when things look bleak; if I stop thinking positive I am doomed.
If I do things that are positive they will eventually reach my heart.
I say words of affirmation to myself until I can believe it.
I plant seeds of positivity in my inner soil until they bloom.
A healthy mind and a healthy spirit are a must in these trying times.
I know I'm beautiful when I don't feel that I am beautiful.
If I feel that I am worthless does that mean I'm worthless?
On the contrary, I must say ( confess) what I am until my feelings
match up or are in line with what I know; I know this to be true.
I feel much better than when I first started writing this verse.

Silent One February 18, 2022 at 8:53 AM Writing is a catharsis and it helps us release supressed emotions, so burden placed upon us feel less heavier.. I like your personal introspection here...

Valsa George February 16, 2022 at 7:14 PM Alexis, poetry definitely is therapeutic as you have experienced at the end . Everyone will have times of blue when one begins to doubt about one's own worthlessness. But remember this is just a passing phase. With resilience, you will be able to spring back to cheer ! All the best dear friend...
