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
