Library of motivations

Each day that comes I worry more
I worry about the day before
I worry about where the next worry will be
And if I’ll cope with my misery

But when I worry nothing I resolve
For I do not see the problem to solve
I just let the worry build up in me
For it’s a wall through that I cannot see

With someone near to guide and hold my hand
I can dismantle the wall and make a plan
Just one thing at once then tidy it away
Now I’m beginning to see clearly this day

My worries never really go away
But the wall now I do not let stay
For I continually keep chipping it away
My hope is that it will be gone one day

Yes I know other problems will come
For they breed like nothing else can
But with some help and just knowing its there
I can resolve the problem and go on my way

Another one of my favourites, thank you for these!

Back on track with my tablets at last
I even feel different from the days past
Just more at peace within myself
That’s worth more than the lottery itself

I must today make a promise to myself
Not to forget how the last days felt
For me it quickly spirals out of control
But only others really feel its toll

A handful of pills regularly taken
From a prescription to lead me to a salvation
Equals a quality of life I’ve never had before
And so to you I now implore

Don’t be the foolish person as I have shown
And think a couple of days won’t harm
For it’s not always possible to monitor oneself
And hold back the spiral you’ve given yourself

What is there to fear of except your mind
For isn’t that all that is actually unkind
Does it not mix things up and embellish words
So then you don’t remember the actual verse

What is it in a tone of voice
That makes infer things not of choice
Why do body gestures scare you so
When they mean nothing at all

What is it out there I ask
That makes you fear every task
Even with the most innocuous of gestures
Stays within your mind to continually fester

Irrational fears I know they are
But within my mind they scar
They question everything I say or do
And then tries to make a fool of what I do

So one step I shall take along
The road to recovery I know its long
But I shall conquer my irrational thoughts
And make them work without recourse

Tablets I know I have to take
They give me something I cannot make
For then I have the power within
To live a life I know I can

[Michael]

What can I say to motivate me today
To help and guide me along my way
Although to reflect on what others may say
I still make decisions my own way

So I go for my morning walk
With my dog because she doesn’t talk
I just want to look and contemplate
Of any problems today may make

My little dog goes scurrying about
Just enjoying herself without a shout
Through the trees and under bushes
Then comes on back and against me nuzzles

Maybe something in what she does
Gives me that little clue
That maybe it is better to go
Than to stand around and worry more

As I go further through
The leaves appear to wave at me
A welcome wave that seems to say
We’ll soon be gone but you will stay

Is that the answer to problems perceived
That problems will come and go each day
Okay I know others will come as others resolve
But so will the leaves with next years sun

So as I walk I resolve to myself
Problems will come all be themselves
So as they come as I’ll knock them off
And carry on with my contemplative ‘lot’

Maybe not the end I need
No magic pill to end my fears
No wizards spell to change my lot
But I now can face the world with what I’ve got

Somedays I’m weary from trying hard
To stop my mind from dealing the cards
Fighting back from what seems inevitable
Just keeping going at times is incredible

What to do in times like these
Take a walk and look at trees
Go to sleep and forget the world
Hide away until the energy returns

That’s the point I bring to you
You see I do know what you’re going through
It may seem at times that my poems are glib
And the words I give are seemingly ‘shot from the hip’

But writing down the feelings I have
For me resolves by bringing to a head
Admitting to myself out loud
The feelings I have seem a permanent cloud

The road is long and the fight is hard
At times you have to rest a while
Acknowledge that within yourself
The problems that only you can tell

Acknowledging and then resting a while
Will help the demons to be reconciled
And then again you can move forward
With the knowledge that you have fought it
