POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've always loved writing while I was in school!
The Unit
A place where our minds are sent to heal
Where every nurse and tech are on your side
There's no such thing as crazy here
We are lost stumbling along our paths
The unit is the light peering through the trees along the way
Friendly smiles, encouraging words, mindfulness
Everyone here growing into our individual paths
The unit is calm and peaceful
Tech's checking in with bright smiles
Doctors working with us with concerned eyes
Groups, classes, chances to teach us calm
Living and learning our disorders day to day
The outside world...

I Am More
When will I be enough for myself
When will I let go of all my regrets
I am not my mistakes anymore
I am not defined by my regrets anymore
I am more
More forgiving
More loving
More caring
I am more of a human than those who hurt me
I was given my life to be more
I have more regrets
I have more mistakes
But I have more strength than the common person
I am worth so much more
God chose me to handle more
When will I let go of all my regrets
I am not my mistakes anymore
I am not defined by my regrets anymore
I am more
More forgiving
More loving
More caring
I am more of a human than those who hurt me
I was given my life to be more
I have more regrets
I have more mistakes
But I have more strength than the common person
I am worth so much more
God chose me to handle more

Afraid of The Dark
I'm afraid the dark
The eerie shadows peering around the corners make me cringe
My heart races as my eyes battle to adjust to the Change
My mind screaming every alarm Beckoning me to run away
As if something lurks in the shadows ready to attack for the kill
I'm afraid of the dark
Frozen in fear as my hands begin to shake and throb
My mind is racing I've got to get out of here but I can't move
Oxygen leaves my lungs as I stare into blackness and sickening memories
Fingernails rip open my skin as the panic attack sets up full swing
I'm so...

One Day
One Day you'll wake up and say I'm done
Done with the pain of carrying everything on your own
You don't deserve to bear all those burdens alone
You need someone to talk to and it's okay
Find yourself a person who will stay invested in you
Tell them when you're happy so they can be happy too
Cry on their shoulder when you no longer have the strength to stand
Explain your fears and frustrations so they can understand
You'll become part of their family as you grow along side them
They will love you more than you'll ever realize
You won't be a...

Used To Be
Everyday I wish I could be the girl I once was
I used to be loud
I used to want to be the center of attention
I used to love hugs
Then everything came crumbling down
I'll never be who I used to be
I'll never get used to who I was forced to be
I used to be fun
I used to be adventurous
I used to be outgoing
Then the Aniexty came rolling in like a middle of summer thunderstorm
Emotions like eighty mile per hour winds ripping my soul apart
Phantom Voices as loud as Thunder grenade through my brain
I used to be confident ...

Tricked
One day you'll realize you were never supposed to belong in their clique, they tricked you because your struggle and failures brought them humor and joy.

Victim of Overthinking
I will always be your victim
Forever covered in the scars you gave me
Constant reminders of my imperfections
Unable to open up about my concerns
Unable to relax in a crowded room
My breath begins to increase when I feel you near
Please don't hurt me again
I promise I'll try harder next time
Harder to make you proud
Harder to fulfill your highest expectations
That's not true I didn't mean to fail you
This was a trick why do you do this to me
I'm sorry I really tried this time
Tried to be all you've ever wanted

Desperate To Hide
Palms begin to sweat as hands start to shake
Heart races as my lips begin to quiver in fear
Panic setting in as I stare at the ground
Desperate to hide the raging fear I keep buried within
To afraid to of the consequences of asking for help
People will think it's a Desperate game
That I am only seeking attention
I'm acting like a pathetic fool unable to control myself
My aniexty forces those lies down my throat
Choking unable to fill my lungs with air
I need help I need someone to see me
I'm panicking I'm panicking my brain screams the...

My Dearest Fred
My Dearst Fred,
First let me start off by thanking you for your 23 years of friendship. It's hard to fathom that you are not longer here. My heartaches as I think of the laughs we shared and times we shared. Those memories I will cherish in my heart forever. I am writing this letter for a different reason than to say goodbye. I am writing to tell you...You're friendship saved my life. You see in my junior year of high school my mental health began to tank. I was bullied in class for being to big, I was told I would never have a job with dealing numbers because my math skills would...
