- 26. #Poetry4MentalHealth #Poetry4MentalHealth Let’s share! Express At firstI thought my writing would be more dark, but I ended up writing more about hope and finding the light in an unreachable place it felt empowering because i had my train of thought and it ended up being redirected to something i never was aware of i feel recognized and cathartic. recent themes in my life continue to be brought up but the prompt made me more familiarized with how i feel about those themes And now we see that the "un" is their meaning, I reject the "un" in my reality, to become: reaching the reachable. Who puts the UN in unreachable? i felt broken because how was i supposed to achieve something i had no real desire to reach? Maybe it is possible... I'm used to working... I get what I want... I will always have myself and can take care of myself... breathe... speak my needs and feelings... there is a clear way... to get to what's true
