Shut-Up

Shut-Up

Wet head 
numbed pain
Brain dead 
in vein 
I'll take 
another round 
Anything to 
drowned sounds 
The voices 
won't stop
There's heartbreak
childhood trauma 
Many mistakes 
family drama
Infinite insecurities 
teenage pregnancy
Highschool dropout 
failed relationships 
And they 
all have 
LOUD VOICES 
screaming remorse 
The course 
led to
Water downed 
morals,, values
Truly lost 
in darkness 
Beer me 
the remedy 
That heals 
all wounds 
​​​​NOT REALLY 
delayed reactions 
To these 
hereditary patterns 
Delaying the 
many battles 
Inevitable war 
necessary for 
Needed change 
To drunk 
to care 
To drunk 
to feel 
To drunk
to deal
With these 
life long 
CHILDHOOD PROBLEMS
not anymore 
No more 
eye sores
My reflection 
getting better 
With each 
new look
I took 
I felt 
More proud 
from results 
To now 
where I'm 
Finally found 
from within 
Her loss 
wrecked me 
Hitting hard 
rock bottom 
Finally broken 
words spoken 
Play through 
MY MIND 
Get help 
please Rob 
HER VOICE 
Through loss 
came gain 
Through pain 
came beauty 
My angel 
saved me 
But now 
she's left
FOREVER GONE 
she's missed 
FOREVER MISSED 
but I 
Have to 
move on 
Without her 
and without 
These many 
LOUD VOICES 
There's heartbreak
childhood trauma 
Many mistakes 
family drama 
Infinite insecurities 
Teenage pregnancy 
Highschool dropout 
failed relationships 
And realize 
i must 
Accept this 
it's who
I AM 
but doesn't 
DEFINE ME 
not anymore 
So I 
put down 
The bottle 
no more 
Noises to 
drown out 
Thank God 
I needed 
Mental awareness 
to learn 
MENTAL-HEALTH 
to overcome 
THESE DEMONS

Wow Rob, I feel the weight and complexity of all those inner battles. You give the reader a clear sense of how those past traumas repeatedly attack your mental state. Solidified in your structure as you repeat the experiences in your poem. Then the clarity as your mindset takes stock and recognises the cycle of your personal mental battles. I feel you taking charge, saying enough is enough. Got my fingers crossed you can find that ray of light in life, feel happier in your headspace xx

Well.. Well.. Rob.
Takling about spilling your guts!
its all there Sir.. your heart.. Your Soul.. your life.
and you are not alone my friend..
so many of us are dealing with those voice lurking in the crevices of our minds 
but a brighter and better day is coming my friend.
keep looking up.. keep reaching out.. keep believing in yourself.
and by all means.. surround yourself with positive people.
