I wrote a poem

[Honeysmom]

I have never written a poem before, but today was the day. I am really down, and I can't describe it or why I feel this way so I just started writing and I want to share it here.

There is something wrong inside me,
and I don't really care.
It's growing and living in my heart,
a pain that's surly there.
I don't know how to fix it,
or make it go away.
But the warm sunshine of yesterday,
has turned all cloudy and grey.

I don't know what caused this gloom,
or why I'm even mad.
I just know it has to go away,
'cause I can't keep feelin' this bad.

My mood is quickly changing,
like falling down a hill.
But there must be a fix for this,
a drug, a shot, a pill?

I hate the way my children see,
their mom be such a drag.
The crying, the screaming, the touchiness,
They must think I'm a hag!

My husband thinks he's hurt me somehow,
he never has, he never did.
He's truly the one I dreamed about when I was a little kid.

I see myself as ugly,
don't think I'm very smart.
I think I've been just plain lucky, playing the mother part.

Not many people know me,
or very well at least.
They have no idea how often it is,
I struggle with this beast.

I am two seperate women,
all in one screwed up brain.
I'm the person who wishes and waits,
for a day that nasty with rain.

I'm also really happy,
I make my family smile.
For those I really love and need,
I go the extra mile.

But tomorrow is a new day,
maybe filled with joy and hope.
'cause that's one thing that gets me through this,
the best way I can cope.


That's it.....

Wow! I'm so sorry that you're feeling so down today. Let me tell you one thing though, you have a real talent! That's something to feel good about. Your poem was really good, in a moving way.

Writing about your feelings is a great way to deal with your problems. I hope it helped you some. I think you seem to have worked out how you feel by the last two paragraphs, so I hope you will continue to improve.

(((((hugs)))))

This describes me to a tee. Very good! You have talent!!

You guys are so nice.

I really do feel better when I write things down. I have lots and lots of letter that get burned in the fireplace when I get angry. Makes me feel better.

Becky,

That is such a great poem. And you know, I don't have ADHD, but there are many days I feel this way too. It just shows we are all human.

Keep writing girl, you got obvious talent!

Here a poem to see you through.

When your feeling sad and blue
Plan to make a dream come true
Plant the seeds and you will find
Joy and love and peace of mind. ;D

Honeys mom-
That is so awesome! I mean it. For a first poem, (even for a seasoned poet), this is really good. You nailed me,also.
