Micky's Poems

PMA

Seek a change of perspective,
For at the first glance
The message doesn't hit us,
Those who struggle to change .
From every morning to every night
We all take the worst.
Our bodies live
While our minds scrape the barrel.
Then the message comes in,
And we question ourselves
"Can we really achieve this?"
The worst of us never find out.
Everyone seems so cheerful
With grand parties every night
While the rest of us suffer
In the dark shadow, unnoticed.
But remember, there is a different way
To live the motto
Without forcing too much,
And while keeping it alive.

Keep yourself alive.
A horrid battle everyday,
But if you keep yourself alive
You've defied those who mock you.

Remember to breathe.
Though you might feel like drowning
The water is merely clouds,
Blown away with every breath.

Maintain yourself.
We starve ourselves sometimes literally
But with food, water, and warmth,
Our souls feel less sticky.

And finally before I end this lesson.
Work at your own pace.
You might have to work differently
But that doesn't mean your mind does.
Think of soft things;
Rabbits and blankets.
Think of them around you
As you fight day to day.

There are bad days.
Trust me, I know,
But with every moment you're alive
Is another moment you have survived.
