Doom

Why was I born so maudlin? 
Always thinking the worst, 
I am cursed, 
I feel too much. 

 Why can I never live in the moment? 
Be thankful for everything I’ve got? 


I fought so hard to be here, 
To stay here, 
Yet the negativity is eating me away from here. 


If only I could say goodbye to the bad thoughts, 
Banish them, 
All of the things I don’t want. 


Yet here I am once again, 
Sinking in my own gloom, 
I am smothered in doom, 
I made it for myself, 
Yet I cannot seem to rid myself of it.

Image Of You

It’s the quietness that gets to me, I know it shrieks the truth, Every situation is replayed a thousand times within my head, If Ive made a mistake, It chills me to the bone, Gnaws at my brain, Makes me feel a little less happy at home. The darkness frightens me, For it allows me to have crystal clear clarity, Every wrong step, I now know the way, Too late for me, I have lost my way. Through all the broken pieces that make up my life, I see haphazardly, A kaleidoscope of whirlwinds, And still... I always see you. Whenever I am in need, Your memory comes to me, Softens every blow, The image of you from long ago, Soothes my torn and worn soul, Allows me to carry on, At least for a little while more. © 2019 MK AC Nevin-Crooks Love Life Poetry

Stars

It's all the little things, That make us who we are, Taking comfort in the sea, Staring at the stars, Long conversations after midnight, Coffee at all hours. We crave laughter that sings in our souls, These are the things that enthral our lives, Ignites our hearts, Our dreams shoot to the stars and back, Makes us understand what life is all about.

Brain

If you have shoes on your feet, Food in your stomach, A roof over your head, Love in your heart, A brain in your head, You are luckier than most. Don't lose hope, You can choose which direction you go, Even if it feels wrong, When you fall, Pick yourself back up off the floor, You know the correct way to go.
