Imposing thoughts

Imposing thoughts

These thoughts these imposing thoughts are telling me to give in and that right now no one would even miss me 
I know not to give in or give up but right now the devil fuelling the thoughts is getting eviler 

These thoughts these imposing thoughts are telling me to cut deeper and their voices are getting stronger 
I know not to because I know it doesn’t solve the issue but sometimes the thoughts make me think it would 

These thoughts these imposing thoughts are telling me that I’m never going to be good enough so stop trying 
I know I’m good enough and that with perseverance and a good attitude I can prove it

I know In my heart one day I’ll be able to tell all these thoughts all these imposing thoughts to fuck off you have no place here

I think you highlight the mental battle that effects so many, but who normally suffer silently brilliantly here. I hope writing helps bring some relief. Please know you definitely have talents. It’s not easy to convey such emotions. I loved your use of the line “These thoughts these imposing thoughts”
You give the reader a clear indication that these thoughts are not out of choice. This IS a battle you face. A truly insightful read which I hope reaches many

The fish of the sea

Wow, I agree with Gwen on this one, such a powerful and fully personified story of a mental health battle... Its tragic how we have such dark and disturbing issues, all of which affect us in different ways. To be honest, it took me years to sit down and finally decide on what I really want, what I really wanted to feel and what I found as a "standard healthy state". Once I found my place, all my actions and goals revolve around maintaining it :). Powerful poetry here, setting as a reminder that there can be heaps going on behind the surface of every face. Enjoyed Lizzie!

When it's after dinner
And time for sleep

You're the police.

You want to go out...
