    You got this! even when you think you don’t

    You got this! even when you think you don’t
    When things get dark and results seem unknown
    Understand that giving up isn’t an option
    And we can’t allow ourselves to drown in our emotions
    Everybody has some rough days, I know I had the worst
    And I done been ignored by people I love when I told them I was hurt
    But a lot of people don’t even know how to show up for you
    And everyone can’t really relate to what you are going through
    But Don’t dwell on those thoughts don’t look for no false reality
    Just Focus on you and be who you aspire to be
    Cause Real people gonna be in your corner if you do the same
    And wack people gonna show they true colors they can’t help but to be lame!
    Just Focus, and just stay the course
    Dead all them negative thoughts, no remorse!
    That negative spiral will get you caught in a trap
    Being too real to the fake will leave YOU unhinged and not intact
    And they are looking for a refill yet your cup is empty
    Meanwhile they still half full and won’t even share any with me
    But if you let them win then that makes you a loser
    You should be concerned only with how to get them out your life sooner
    Cause At the end of the road this life is over
    Meanwhile you wasting time going out sad looking for a sign or some closure
    And I know people who love deep find it hard to detach
    But if you go today it’s giving settle for less would be your only impact
    When you set boundaries the people who love you will respect them
    And if you really setting boundaries you can’t buckle down for her or for him
    You gotta show people that you deserve a soft life
    If you don’t show them how they supposed to see that shit right?
    And I know that’s not an easy task
    But much better than living life behind a mask
    Being miserable every day is a crazy life
    But imagine living with regrets in the afterlife
    Don’t be malicious to people ever, but be true to you more than anyone
    Always remember when your cup was empty and they had some they had no problem leaving you with none
    And not taking care of yourself is self abuse and toxic
    People pleasing is manipulative as fuck… it’s a mind trick
    Cause scraping up something to give someone what you don’t have
    I think that might be the beginnings of creating a psychopath
    Cause when you thirsty and your cup empty you start thinking crazy
    Depression and anxiety co exist while you dying of thirst but they hydrated!
    Then when their cup starts running low they like here you can have a sip
    Then they like “Just make sure when you done can refill my shit”
    So focus on happy no matter who you have to leave behind
    Life is short we really don’t have too much time
    Pour into yourself and if your cup overflows you can give them a lil drip sometimes

    • Ashley, I love everything about this poetry! I love how you address the negative and uncertain parts of life but stay focused on making yourself happy despite those obstacles. We must remember that we are our biggest and sometimes only ally. I can relate to this on so many levels. Thank you for sharing!
