How to make yourself feel better


                     I get it sometimes

Those late nights when deep thought

Is most vast

An infinite number of infinities

And like the impossibility

Of something spontaneously being created from nothing

Hope is the needle not even in the haystack

Yet for some reason they tell you latch onto it

As you would to the feeling of weightlessness in free fall

Did they let you know it would come to an end at some point

depression like the ground is accelerating you to the end

And Some just give in

This poem is for those who choose this

To hit infinite nothingness

Let me let you in

Behind the scenes poet to audience

In the rough draft of this poem

I had depression leaning on me

Hoping I could bring the happy weightlessness back from the moment it disappeared

The moment I was born

Ever since I've had liability on my emotions for everything

Even living

I was a host to a virus of ignorance

To which today affects many

So this poem is a guide on how to be happy

To those in the same situation as me

You don't believe me

Don't worry I wouldn't either

Many people say they hold the remedy

To down size our polarities

Getting rid of the extreme from our personalities

Their promises include side effects chained to a imagined dream

The extreme isn't taken care of only maintained in a cell of tranquility

To me that is the introduction to insanity

This poem isn't filled with lies buttered up to float in a day dream

This poem is for those who truly want to be happy

1. Find a medium to keep a sense of caring

For example this poem

I'll tell you are the sun in everyone else's world

Even though you feel like the black hole

Sucking the happiness out of everything

You are a beautiful rose at a flower store

It may seem like people are passing you up because your ugly

In reality your just so freaking expensive

2. Learn to love something

if life was meant for isolation then everything would go extinct

cause without this love feeling 

you're a walking corpse and you might as well be dead

But I won't judge you for being

a water bug who drifts in a neverending storm

just know that even if your past deems you as an outcast

rise past those feeling and extend your perspective on other people

eventually they will see it your way cause outcast can change the world

3. Remember everything

Your past was a yesterday  dont let that take away from the 

current seconds you wasting on worrying about what already happened

let those minutes go towards seeing how you will help make yourself better today

I know it can be hard to do these things while fighting a neverending battle

But if I didnt write this to help us out why would I still be here.
