perception is reality

Is that what you really believe?
Β 

reality is perception

Is that what you really think?
Β 

thoughts create fruition

Then why? Why so much greed?
Β 

because we allow it

When, when we do nothing!

deception is reality

Perception tells us so, that’s why!

You made my heart melt. Most of my time on Cosmo has been to deal with suppressed trauma from my childhood, from my past failed relationships, from alcoholism… from dark places. Through support of fellow poets and poetry I have been able to cope with it and accept it doesn’t define me. Now, I get to use my poetry powers to be inspiring and artistic. I still have the occasional dark ones but that’s how I vent from my insecurities and dark thoughts. Poetry has been a staple in my life and my mental-health becoming a safe place. I appreciate your comment, time and support more than my words could fully describe. Thank you ~RobΒ

Thank you! That means a lot and I won’t hesitate to take you up on that offer in the future. I have found writing poetry and creating freestyle songs on SoundCloud has helped me the most, because then I can read what I wrote or listen to what I composed and with time eventually I have been able to realize it wasn’t my fault and I can just separate Β myself from those insecurities.

I’m working on putting together a book that has to do with childhood abuse and trauma as well as mental health awareness and breaking free from lifelong patterns generationally, hereditarily and self defense mechanisms.

It wasn’t until I was 31 and lost the love of my life that I realized I hit rock bottom and needed to change. I drank for six months straight while writing poetry and crying my eyes out, averaging 10-15 posts a day! Β From there everything seemed to get better.Β 

I have my drinking under control, my anger has been less and my strength has been the strongest it’s ever been. Now I’m battling resentment and forgiveness but recently I have gotten stronger and more devoted in faith!Β 

I know faith has been the last missing piece to the puzzle. My goal along this journey has been to β€œ create beauty from pain” as my pain being shared might help others or inspire them! Maybe it’ll prevent them from similar mistakes.Β
