Your Not Useless

Am I really that useless?
That may not be the case
I am just another person
Within the human race

Everyone has problems
This i know is fact
Its how i deal with them they say
In other words, how do I react

Some people’s brains work differently
This I know to be true
The problems that some people have
May not affect me and you

To some normal stresses can be hard
They can see their way through
But to others with severe issues
These stresses cannot do

When the mind is struggling so much
You cannot see the way
Ideas bounce around your head
You can’t hear what others  say

No one has the answers
The mind is so complex
The smallest things will fester
In the mind’s deepest depths

Low self esteem will set in 
Negative thoughts do begin
Try to increase your self-belief
As if you don’t it will cause grief

Some people can see the light
Where others just sit in fright
Others always see positive
Where some just don’t want to live

A friend colleague a partner can listen
So shout out to achieve this mission
It’s not the easiest thing to do
Once it’s done you won’t feel so blue

It’s easy for others to just say
Get a grip be on your way
What you need is a listening ear
Fill your life with positive cheer

So if you’re struggling and cannot see
Your not alone shout out too me
I’m no professional in this matter
As you are not mad as a hatter

I will listen to your worries and woes
Watch your movement from head to toe
As this will help me see what is wrong
Give you the answer that you belong

You deserve to let your mind be free
Give people a chance and you will see
Let them help you through your strife
You can then begin to live your life
