Be yourself.

Do what you can to talk to people not just for yourself but for ones you love.

YOUR HAPPINESS AND LIFE ARE SO IMPORTANT TO THOSE WHO LOVE YOU

To ones you love your not a burden, your a gift, accept yourself as they love you. Love you for you.

No matter how the world is dark or light, nasty or kind, be true to you.

WE ALL GO THROUGH BAD TIMES, but it doesnt last forever. Good shines through worst times.

Your loved ones needs you and you need, never forget that no one can be exactly like you, thats what makes you amazing.

If you have trouble talking about your feelings or issues, just say it, say the truth.

Loved ones will help you through anything, they dont want you to face this alone. Work together.

When I went through depressive thoughts, I had trouble seeing pst my dark place

.But my loved ones were there for me, pulled my through all my hardship.

SPEAK UP, your loved ones and you with be thankful you did so.

You ever notice how I look at you, becuase I dont think so, did you?

People associated in any major injury to nature will have to try their best to undo harm for harming the planet. If they did an oil spill, they clean wildlife. If they cut down many trees, plant twice as many as they cut down ,and make sure they grow big a strong. They would basically loose their job as a nature killer, and work for nature the rest of their lives.

OCD is a parasite, feasting on your fears and your pains. Questioning you on actions of any kind, it mentally freezes you. Making you question what to do. Do I do this and stop the nagging that will just be stronger next time. Or dont do it, and continue with this thing in my head saying I may be hurt because I didnt do somthing right. Constant judgment of yourself, never ending asking if I did somthing right or wrong. Eventually it got so bad I couldnt go to school, or do simple tasks like brush my teeth. I avoided sitatuions that would wake the beast that is OCD. The beast that threatens me, knowing my fears and using them against me. A beast that does not sleep, making me have trouble sleeping when its strong enough. OCD can make you feel weak, and alone. I eventually went to a thearpy for OCD. At first I thought OCD will just go around everything I did against it. But when I do somthing against OCD, I grow stronger and it grows weaker. I met people with anxiety and OCD. I met people with mental beasts of their own. Together, with my new friends and my family, I did what OCD told me not to do. With strength and love, constant work, OCD lost its power over me. I do what I want. If OCD bothers me about doing somthing it wants, I dont listen to OCD. Everythtime I dont do what OCD wants, I gain my freedonm and independence. OCD may never be cured, but I have grown strong against OCD. I may be pushed down by OCD somtimes, but I just Ihhave to keep getting up and stopping it fom controlling my decsions. I gained a better life, my own life where I do or dont do what I want.

Dreams are not for sale. Good and bad you can not sell a dream. A dream is somthing that you think, feel and imagine. If you want my dream, imagine it for yourself. Because my dreams I want to become reality, are not for sale. I have to work to make my dreams real, ones I want to have in my life.

Dear Poets

Thank you. I know some may say and think your work is no good. But when one person finds somthing incredible in your work, it could change their life. If five people out of ten say your work is incredible, then embrace the five more than the ten. Your work is one of a kind, because its yours, no one can replace your creativity. No one could replace you. So work through the critics and writers block, keeping making your own poetry, your own creatative. Every person, including you, who reads your work, gets a whole new experience from those words. Your words. I thank you for all your work, they will live with every person who enjoys them and reads them. Thank you.

Rip tide came with no warning.

Away and away from shore I went.

I kept swimming to shore.

But I was getting no closer to saftey.

Thinking I would move forward, my strength was going going...

I kicked off sand bottom as much as I could

Having to go under to push off bottom more and more.

Struggling to keep above water, struggling to breath.

I dont think I knew how much danger I was in.

Lifeguards silent and no help.

Up and down, under water, above water.

A sighting of a person, swimming for shore.

I begged for help with air I had in my lungs.

This stranger swam us to shore.

This stranger who was pulled out to sea by rip tide.

I kept thanking this man once I could stand above water.

Asking for nothing in return, this man saved my life.

Walking into crowd, blending in without effort.

I never saw stranger again.

This man I knew nothing about, saved my life.

A stranger saved me.
