Therapy by MwsR

Inside my tiny brain

Often things drive me insane

Like getting through my daily tasks

Or making sure that bill has been paid in the past

I struggle to answer questions

Like should I dress better, comb my hair,

Things that to my own self, may be unaware.

Looking around me at chores to do

Wondering if that is a golden rule

Never really taking time to eat

I’d rather think about my lack of sleep.

Contemplating if I should drink water,

Trying to be more healthy, if only in my mind.

Nothing satisfying really do I find.

Knowing that there are things that bring me happiness

If only I would choose to experience them.

Like birds singing, flowers blooming.

The sway of the wind through the trees

The caresses from my pets that bring me joy

The playful nature they have playing with their toys

Knowing all my bills are paid for the month

Having something satisfying to eat, if I choose

Hearing the running water sounds from my pool

Not having to deal with fools

Getting an “out of the ordinary” text from someone who cares for me

These things are the only therapy I need.

Poem

Alright by MwsR

Life and circumstances affect you, often taking your true sight
Your head must remember all of your might
A heart can break from endless banter
Things you’ve cared for now are shattered
All the echos of the things left unsaid
Conversations that you fast inside your head
Relentless “what if’s” make you feel a certain way
Sometimes things just replay
You’re not required to emulate the bold
Things will get hard to hold
That’s no surprise
You will fall and still rise
You’ve done things before, without making a plan
Time to rethink, man
In one pressing moment, maybe more
The one that had previously worked before
A short period or if needed, in more than a while
No one can judge the process, you are not on trial.
Learn to accept that you’ve made mistakes and move on
Life is shorter than it is long.
Grow old being enough, with yourself and despite others
Insist on and don’t resist, forgiveness for yourself
Even if you are the one that is forgiving
Try to go on, even if it is just by living
The world has enough players, so you be real
Just open up to yourself and feel.
That will help you heal

Remember, there isn’t a war when you won’t fight.
Alright?
