Kandii Smith Poet Rhyme

The Dark Side of My Room

Dear Diary,
I woke up this morning feeling depressed 
I don’t know why I have a lot on my chest
Laying here in my bed
I got a million things running through my head
I gotta get up and I gotta leave 
Through all these emotions and feeling numb I gotta breathe
Sometimes I feel like I’m not worth it
When I rationalize I know that I don’t deserve it
Thinking of all my reasons of being here and my purpose 
When I calm down and think about it I haven’t even scratched the surface
Beauty is pain…. 
Sincerely, 
The dark side of my room

Silent One March 22, 2026 at 10:35 AM Many go through these feelings, especially when we are stuck in a room.. you have expressed it really well... we only drown if we stay in the water, so I hope you can find a way to overcome these feelings.. Kandii Smith March 22, 2026 at 5:36 PM I appreciate you so you much. Yes many of us do go through these feelings. We have to keep fighting and not listen to our worst critics. Ourselves. When we push through those negative thoughts and emotions, there’s always light ahead! Thank you for commenting and much blessings to you my friend.
