A poem written by me: @swpoetry1247 and read beautifully by: @kim_reiko . Full poem follows this little description: I wrote this poem to a photograph taken by my dear friend @livi.j.hoy I took it and poured my emotions into it, my fears of death and loneliness, my longing for friendship and acceptance and my struggles with depression. Those emotions were given voice by the talented @kim_reiko It is ultimately a message of hope and happiness although it might not seem that way. You can take both positive and negative emotions from this piece. Thank you for all of those who listened. If you liked the work please considering following all 3 of us involved. Ok now for the full poem in text: . Long ago to us you were lost, falling quietly in the frost of a winter many years past. All of our friends, I am the last Is that you my beloved friend lingering for me at the end of my disheartening journey? The cliché light at the end I see. I can't see your beloved face, I have long to go; a slow pace. I have faced so many burdens, I long to let go—be with friends. Yes—yes, it is very much time to rest my weary soul, sublime. Your face becomes divinely clear my beloved friend, no more tears. I am here . . #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetryisnotdead #poetryofinstagram #poetryporn #poetryofig #poetrygram #poetrysociety #poetrylovers #writer #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writers #writerscommunity #growyourpoetry #voicesofpoets #bymepoetry #bymepoetryamerica #packpoetry #poetrytribe #poetstribe #spokenword #spokenwordpoetry #voiceover #voiceacting #voiceactor #poems #poemsofinstagram #poem #poemoftheday . @growyourpoetry @voicesofpoets @bymepoetry @bymepoetryamerica @packpoetry @poetrytribe @poetstribe https://www.instagram.com/p/CIbhlK5lZDJ/?igshid=1kokgreceosqe

If you like please follow @swpoetry1247 . Full poem follows this. A bit about my struggles with depression. I am fully aware of it and what it does to me. I know what I need to do to be more healthy mentally but I fight a war within my own soul. Part of me wants that paradise of a happy life while another wants to remain in the barren world of depression. That is why I call this piece Paradoxise. Paradise and paradox. Ok now the full poem: . To my right I see a barren world. Cold, rocky with pale green lichen sticking to each forlorn rock. It’s deceptive call tempting me. The lashing white wind offers comfort while it’s grey empty sky opens. I want to be there. To my left I see a stunning world. A sublime forest and pacific lake. Rich, vibrant greens and deep rich hues of blues. Yet when I look, my soul recoils. The warmth of it’s cerulean wind abhors and the sweet melody burns my mind. I don’t want to be there. Why do I do this to myself? . . #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetryisnotdead #poetryofinstagram #poetryporn #poetryofig #poetrygram #poetrysociety #poetrylovers #writer #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writers #writerscommunity #growyourpoetry #voicesofpoets #bymepoetry #bymepoetryamerica #packpoetry #poetrytribe #poems #poemsofinstagram #poem #poemoftheday #depression #depressionawareness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #mentalhealthmatters . @growyourpoetry @voicesofpoets @bymepoetry @bymepoetryamerica @packpoetry @poetrytribe @poetstribe https://www.instagram.com/p/CIWy_99FoA2/?igshid=901bipu1mibt

Follow me @swpoetry1247 if you enjoy my work. Full poem: In pouring, drenching rain he drew his rusty battle weary sword. Over the multitude he slew an ambush had lain at this ford. No mortal foe he fought this day, just those tired weary souls alike. Akin to him way after way never fleeing strike after strike. Alone, the realization so grim to this day he struggles with Him . . . . . . . . . . . . . #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetryisnotdead #poetryofinstagram #poetryporn #poetryofig #poetrygram #poetrysociety #poetrylovers #writer #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writers #writerscommunity #growyourpoetry #voicesofpoets #bymepoetry #bymepoetryamerica #packpoetry #poetrytribe #poems #poemsofinstagram #poem #poemoftheday #depression #mentalhealth #depressionawareness #mentalhealthawareness #alone #faith . @growyourpoetry @voicesofpoets @bymepoetry @bymepoetryamerica @packpoetry @poetrytribe @poetstribe https://www.instagram.com/p/CIROnrElK0R/?igshid=1c17hgzbm4n2j

Follow @swpoetry1247 . Full poem: It may seem it’s so very dour growing in this arctic coldness; this lone solitary flower. In the chill wind it may cower turning in itself and compress; it may seem it’s so very dour Small frozen petals bloom this hour, bright vibrant red against whiteness. This lone solitary flower. Ice and snow whip in a shower; yet the blossom shows it’s boldness. It may seem it’s so very dour. With the risen sun it’ll tower above it surrounds barrenness. This lone solitary flower. It’s splash of color, it’s power as our lives tend to depress. It may seem it’s so very dour this lone solitary flower .

In constant company I may be; But it is as if I am upon the open sea; Adrift in my raft, insignificant, a speck Distraught this seems a never ending trek. Each day I attempt to calm my mood A constant tempest ill-withstood; Bolts of anguish and claps of fear Drops of anxiety mixing with each tear. In the darkest night comes a despairing wave Swept off my raft, my life none can save Soon drowning in vast darkness I find Alone I sink into my own black mind .

This poem describes the inner battle between ones self when you have a mental illness. Personally, for myself it is my struggle with depression and anxiety. . .Full Text: The usual days filled thinking of you. Always in my mind; you causing me pain. Thoughts pervasive, not knowing what to do. A war rages, victory to obtain. Wearisome battles each and every night are hard contested between you and me. More often you seduce to win the fight, causing me to enjoy pain and not flee. A jumble are these thoughts you have given. My entire being contests yet loses. But no longer; as I have long striven to be free of your selfish abuses. Evening has arrived, battle one more time. I now know you are me, my soul is mine! . .literary note: traditional 10 syllable line sonnet with a rhyming scheme of ABAB CDCD EFEF GG. . . . #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetryisnotdead #poetryofinstagram #poetryporn #poetryofig #poetrygram #poetrysociety #poetrylovers #writer #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writers #writerscommunity #growyourpoetry #voicesofpoets #bymepoetry #bymepoetryamerica #packpoetry #poetrytribe #poems #poemsofinstagram #poem #poemoftheday #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #depression #anxiety #sonnet . . @growyourpoetry @voicesofpoets @bymepoetry @bymepoetryamerica @packpoetry @poetrytribe @poetstribe https://www.instagram.com/p/CH52EGOloKQ/?igshid=13wsc0ku8dnzm
