Looking into the Mind of Mental Health is a poem that I wrote back when I was going through a rather rough patch with my own Mental Health. The poem takes a look at some of the thoughts that can go through your head when thinking of Mental illnesses such as Anxiety, Depression & PTSD.
Here is the poem:
Looking into the Mind of Mental Health
My depression is at an all-time high,
I’m not sure how to fix it, I don’t know why,
Is it worth solving, is it worth a try?
Do I just stop or go to bed and lie?
How do I escape this cycle of self-hatred?
This self-torture mechanism I have created,
When feelings are difficult to be translated,
When all you want to feel like again, is elated.
My anxiety is at quite a high peak,
My mind-sets darkening, turning bleak,
My positivity’s slowly draining, like a boat with a leak,
Is it worth saving, or is my mind too weak?
How do I escape this cycle of self-hatred?
This self-torture mechanism I have created,
When feelings are difficult to be translated,
When all you want to feel like again, is elated.
I’m worried that my PTSD will come back,
Then my social and work life will slack,
One person left alone like a wolf without a pack,
When life gets tough is it worth the hack?
How do I escape this cycle of self-hatred?
This self-torture mechanism I have created,
When feelings are difficult to be translated,
When all you want to feel like again, is elated.
What if the bullying happens again?
Will I cope? Or break like I did when I was ten,
This fear I’ve got, my childhood is the stem,
I’m lost for words, can’t put words to the pen.
How do I escape this cycle of self-hatred?
This self-torture mechanism I have created,
When feelings are difficult to be translated,
When all you want to feel like again, is elated.
Hope you all enjoyed the poem! Let me know what you think!
Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great day!

Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind me asking what theme you’re using?
(and don’t mind if I steal it? :P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours–
but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for
“royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback) – it’s
still in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself
during the coronavirus scare!

Hello Justin! Thanks for commenting! I use the WordPress Twenty Seventeen theme and tailored it to fit my page. You can use it if you want to as well, it is a free theme after all!
I just took a quick look at your site. It looks good to me. The structure is good, the colour scheme is consistent. I do not know much about CBD oils and stuff so can not really comment on whether you are making the right content there or not. What I would do is get a few people that you know who have an interest in the area to give it a read and then let you know what they think. That should give you some guidance for if you are in the right are or not
