Jake shared a letter in the
Mental Health group 7 hours, 27 minutes agoLearning To Recycle
Loving yourself is not easy
Thinking about it makes me dizzy.
My head spirals like the wind
I think about what could have been
Would my love for myself be different if I had not let society’s opinion take me on this tailspin?
I wish I were a dog
Not remembering their last internal sin.
Giving myself love should not be difficult
But my happiness d…read more -

Poetry group 7 hours, 39 minutes agotriggered.
I’m tired of living in uncertainty
what else does it take until I find someone
anyone (hell, anything at this point)
who is certain about me?
why is it always a fight for motherfuckers to see my worth?
why is it that as soon as I feel hurt
show someone that I am fallible
that suddenly my texts are left on read
our memories feel like a…read more -

Kiore shared a letter in the
Mental Health group 9 hours agoIf I Won’t, Who Will?
Kiore AndrewsI was asked why I loved myself.
Hmm, that’s a good question.
Could it be because of how well I play with the cards that have been dealt?
How I managed to cure myself of depression?
How I chosen to turn every loss into a lesson?
Maybe the compassion I have, not only for others but also for myself?
You’d think that I’d be put first in that previ…read more -

Maggie Faye shared a letter in the
Mental Health group 4 days, 10 hours agoI wanted to be Hozier
Maggie FayeI was in awe of the whimsies and romance.
I yearned for my art to comfort and soothe;
For my art to hold the listener’s hearthurt the way my hearthurt was held,
For my art to share imagery with songs of love,
To create beauty in death as he created it.I wanted to be Hozier, but I have to be Poe, first.
I have to walk through my Inferno to r…read more

AnonymousDear Unsealers,
I came up with an analogy to describe a battle with anxiety, I hope one can read this and feel less alone in their battles, or better yet, it will not resonate with you.What every therapist tells you sounds a lot like stop, drop, and roll.
Firemen say that when there is an urgent flame upon you.
When you get anxious,

Parenting group 1 week agoDEAR KIDS
Ricardo AlbertorioI’m sorry if I embarrass you
Because I’m not like other dads
This thought often makes me sad
So I write to shake the blues
Shame and guilt have haunted me
As I’ve watched you learn and grow
And someday I hope you know
That you’re all I want to be
But I had to make a choice
Though it may never seem that way
To reveal my self one day

Jonathan OdleDo you remember when I loved you?
I often think of the hell that we went through.
How many times did we almost die?
How many times did we whisper dirty lies?
Do you remember all the things we would see?
I often think of the affects you left with me.
I’d be lying if I were to say
maybe we could love again one day.
In the past, so many things you…read more -

Inspiration pouring out my soul
Mind and body collide
Heart and soul coincide
Fact and fiction divide
Making you feel alive
Sometimes I get real
I kneel and pray to a god not yet saved
Steal and pay for the next day
You’ll find a way
Just stay, don’t run
It could way a ton

Ricardo AlbertorioDear Unsealers,
I often fall into bouts of deep melancholy and sadness when I think about my life prior to coming out. I’ve learned that expressing my feelings immediately through poetry prevents me from sliding into a longer state of depression. I write, I cry, and I liberate the feelings from my mind. This has helped me so much over the last t…read more

Alacia, What is going on in the Middle East is incredibly heartbreaking. 41 percent of people in Palestine are under 14, and more than 52 percent are under 18. The median age of the people in Israel is 29 and a third of its population is under 18.
The reality is none of the people dying and suffering from these problems we are facing today caused…read more

Lauran HirschiFor most of my life I have smothered myself beneath the ideals of others.
These expectations pushed me into boxes where I did not fit, but I tried to contort and carve away at myself to appease the “rules.”
I thought if I broke them, I would be broken. They were unyielding, so I yielded my will to their commands.And then one day I stretched out…read more
