Best Mentalhealth Poems

My biggest flaw
Is that I love
I love with my whole heart
I love everyone
I love the world
As much as I'll ever love anything
I suppose my flaw is not that I love
It is that I love what does not love me
And as such
I find it difficult
To love...

Thousands of students of decades
Across the nation, 
Have loads of issues with grades 
And lack of motivation.

A retention to learning,
With parents calling 
And graduation rates falling.
It's beginning to be so concerning,
That teachers even notice,
These kids aren't learning.

The propositions the school has given,
Halted the adults' beliefs...

Lately I’ve been Fighting DemoNs
For what seems like no reason
Kick me out like I’m a heathen
You broke my heart, now that’s treason
You were my only reason
To wake up in the morning
But then one day you left without a warning 

I knew I’d end up all...

When I am up, every sky is a boundless, cloudless expanse of brilliantly blinding blue.

When I am up, I am William the Conqueror and William Shakespeare and William Jennings Bryan all in one.

When I am up, life is an eternity of perfect days punctuated by...

So much poetry;...

Mental illness is simply like an open box,
Filled with expressions of beauty.
With letters of love and symbols of color,
Overflowing with emotional passion.
Not a basket, but a box.
We're just like you, but never closed....

This is a poem to my BPD. As much as I hate you, I need to accept you are a part of me. That is not to say my diagnosis defined who l am, more that I need to treat you with as much compassion...

My demons, I see, 
Though they are quiet
But are never silenced
They still want to riot. 

Some of the demons leave me,
So, it's quiet in my head
Some of them travel with me
Yet, they roam inside me, dead. 

I'm sure they'll always be around, 
In my darknesses,...

All Quiet On The Frontal Lobes

A battle was fought: his Medulla oblongata versus an electrical socket.
The electrical appliance distributors made a racket. So did his screams.
But its pure, scientifically certified - who am I to besmirch and mock it ?
From now on his ol' rumbustious...

She never got spoon-fed and started licking off the knives
But knives cut her tongue
Her home is in the white spaces but not the words
You claim to know the flower, but do you know its pollen grains?
"You are fit so get over it", they said
"Don't be...

I dived into the cauldron of magic potion and transformed into the person who I was.ME !
The Me that was missing pieces that felt so deeply about things.
The Me that had that innocence of a child ,who looked at everything in life with amazement and...

Alone

I used to be happy, wearing my designer shoes
But all that is left is substance misuse and booze
I feel that I am stuck tight in a rut with glue
All day, every day I just feel blue.
How did I end up like this
In this endless tiss??

I...

A million stumbles, a million falls,
A heart that falters, a spirit calls.
I fight the darkness, claw at the light,
Though shadows cling with all their might.

Don't count the failures, the bruises deep,
The battles lost where sorrows weep.
See the flicker, the spark within,
The restless yearning, the fight...

You’ve heard of schizophrenia and psychosis sure, 
And you’ve heard of bipolar and how there is no cure.  
But, why does nobody talk about the thing that is both?
The thing that also takes a mindset of growth....

Dealing With Storms 

The lightning outside is
Far away and harmless
Like fireworks in the night
I safely watch from home
And chuckle with delight

The lightning outside is
Moving ever closer 
I sense malignance now
Lurking behind thunder
Sweat breaks upon my brow
 
The lightning outside is
Inside my city’s walls
Flashes bright and...
