Listen not just see

 Forward-thinking.

Being unsuccessful does not make you a failure.

Most people may think they are, which is not good which encourages them to think not good about themselves where you need to empower them to try to think good about themselves not bad of themselves.

We all make mistakes, no one is perfect but don’t let it get you down or them.

If something isn’t working out for them it is not your fault, your doing your best.

Just don’t put them in danger where they can report you, and remember your safety matters too, you have the right to report that if you feel they are putting you in danger or if they are a concern for one of you or both.

Your job is not to wave a magic wand for them and make everything perfect cause there is no perfect life to help them to help themselves but also they need to help you to help them.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

What seems far away may be closer than what they think.

Try not to give up the way forward maybe sooner than what it seems.

Mental illness speaks.

Fear, worry, panic, scared of what may happen.

It controls the world and the mind but does not speak or an excuse for everything and every way a person is.

In most ways, we are our own person and even people.

Death hurts those who are left behind but we need to learn how people are feeling inside to feel as if they don’t want to live, where really they want to end their pain, not their lives.

Never judge what they say.

Never misunderstand them for being selfish when they are not.

The truth is they see no way of coping with what bothers them or living with it, having to bother with it when understandably they don’t want to.

However may something as basic as loneliness or and just feeling very negative, which may for no reason at all, this is something else we must not judge as no one, not even the person knows why they feel as they do. 

Never force them to speak if they don’t wish to, they may want to speak to someone they know, they don’t know or they may feel they can talk to no one, which concerning but the thing is forcing.

However, you can suggest support to them like mental services, websites, etc but if they don’t accept anything they know for their health and safety you need to report to someone or somewhere in the mental health field.

If they are speaking to someone this could be a counselor, emotional supporter, a friend, or a family member, you must not interfere with that but if they choose to tell you that is their choice.

Poetry not words say.

Poetry says nothing but words.

Words say nothing but poetry.

Words and sentences either make sense or don’t.

There must be a purpose in one’s mind to write.

To say what one thinks, say, feels, reacts, behaves,s, etc.

The voice speaks of thoughts and words with or without sound, with and without writing.

Whether the weather.

Wet and damp rain, January again.

Ducks drinking in the lake as the rain pours heavily at South Salem New York.

There was the deer eating on top of the hill.

Suddenly there was fog and mist with no lake and hills to be seen.

The snow had been on Christmas eve and Day.

It went and came back in the New year.

Anxiety

Thinking and overthinking.

Life seems like a roller coaster of good and bad.

Even the build-up of the good like studying, driving lessons, tests, or exams can build up Anxiety when you want to pass and when you worry about failing, which is a natural reaction.

Not at rest unless we pass.

Questioning why we are here, why we worry and fear.

Finding it hard to see the positive out of the negative.

We, humans, fight with the mind.

What is the point of life, life is going on?

Think again we have so much to live for, even though it may not seem like it to most of us at times.

Words in mind, not poems or poetry.

I just write words that come to mind.

Words that say and mean something, it doesn’t have to be poems or poetry.

Just what think about life and what we say.

What we write, what we speak.

Young, teenage, adult, middle age, old, new poems, and poets.

Lockdown.

It was like we were prisoners in our homes.

Only leaving our homes for important reasons.

Not saying it was wrong in health and safety but increased mental health.

We all felt sad time after time.

It was not in one’s mind that we felt as if we were going out of our minds.

It was no joke, it was a crisis of our lives.

It happened any time, any place anywhere.

The empty feeling of loneliness.

Under, sleeping eating, drinking, hopeless, helpless, useless, and so forth.

Yes, it can be serious but most of us got through others did not.

Yes, very true the world is not all black and white.

Neither all happy, sad, laughing mad, etc, we are all milder of assorts.
