Welcome to another crap poem, this time a rhyming poem focussing on our feelings and how we manage them.
Why Bother came to me pretty quickly, but it’s taken me a while to post after a lot of changes.
I hope you like it!
**********
Why bother?
When day and night don’t give you rest
When every task becomes a test
When you don’t feel heat from direct sun
When every day melts in to one
When silence is so clearly loud
When you crave some softness like a cloud
When empathy is running dry
When you ask for answers from the sky
When waking up takes all your might
When arguments aren’t worth the fight
When love that’s offered isn’t felt
When compliments seem never dealt
When grey exists in every thing
When you want so much your phone to ring
When hobbies start to lose their joy
When nothing’s left to now destroy
When laughter starts behind a frown
When life has been turned upside down
When all you do is wake and sleep
When emotion feels so very deep
Say these things to someone now
Let them know the why and how
Don’t be quiet, you’re not alone
Welcome a friend into your home
We all need help from time to time
Voicing your pain is not a crime
It’s critical you feel expressed
And avoid becoming more depressed
