How Far
How far am I willing to go for recovery?
Will I continue to catastrophize;
Will I continue to lie;
Will I continue to spend days
Just wishing to die?
Or will I take control?
Not control over others,
People, places, and over others,
Not even so much control of my
Emotional ascent,
But of what I am to do-
And who I am to be.
Will I listen to my gut?
Will I take care of myself?
Will I listen to the voice inside?
I am worthy.
I am valuable.
I am myself-
With no one else to please.
I am enough.

Life's Song Dance
My soul is free!
Listen to my song-
I'll sing it all life long.
I would whisper,
But my soul wouldn't stand it-
My body trembles with excitement.
My song is in the wind.
My song is in the storm.
My song is in the crashing waves-
My song is life!
Depression will cover it up,
Schizophrenia will silence it also.
Paranoia will turn the beauty into terror.
Get help! Speak! Listen to you own song!
You are a part of life.
Your song is a part of The Song.
Do not diminish it.
Make it louder and stronger.
Join the SongDance of Life!

Hey Corey,
ReplyDeleteI wish you had felt ok with sharing your "darker" poetry as well. I admire your creativity in all its forms!
Speaking of depression, I get a newsletter from someone who does some pretty transformational work and thought I would share it here; I know I could certainly relate to most of it...maybe it will give another perspective:

Would love to know what you think about it! So glad you are feeling better and look forward to seeing you soon!
Blessings,
Paula
Thank you! I will eventually, but on another site. The darker poetry is very confessional and I don't want to talk on this site about what I recently went through. I am in the process of starting a more secretive blog where I will talk about it. I'll send you the link, when I get it set up.
