    OUR HOLY SAVIOUR

    The state of the mind can

    cause you misery,

    The state of your mind

    is a eerie mystery.

    It plays tricks when you

    don't expect it to

    It can also confirm when

    your life is through.

     

    Your mind is a mystery,

    that we all do know

    And on occasions it

    can make you feel so

    low.

    You fight every day and

    each morbid night

    But the question is; will

    you win the fight?

     

    Some days you are okay -

    some days you are feeling

    low

    Some days are filled

    with laughter - tha...

    Loss of personality   


      
        
     Turning inward, you just look, you don’t see yourself inward. Chasing the ring tooth of an idyllic daydream, into the memories of lived events in childhood, into an unchanging past, among the blunders of your futility; you dwell there, who can whisper to you the caressing words of your conscience!

    You see cheerful, bouncing players around you - all breaking the rules, you imagine yourself: It could be Order in the midst of clutter! And the others didn't even guess your secretly flattening helper - tell me, where did he go ?!

    You hold your individual, selfish hope to yourself, if you keep them so you cherish your emotions! Your heart trembles when you have to decide responsibly, so you ask them and what they murmur into the gaping shells of your ears, you can even decipher it, you can pour it into words like a hermit saying a message, a silent prophet in apostasy - you fight with opinions,

    WHAT DO I DO

    I am just stuck 
    Couldn't move on
    Neither smile...
    Imprisoned in head
    Broken in heart...
    Wanted to stay flying...
    But remains captured..
    Voice being silenced..
    Soul stays trembling..
    What am I to do..
    Nobody knows

    I don't know if any of it makes sense!!

    Love

    Anyone can say that we should love someone not by his or her face but

    It's a sad truth that we love someone first by his or her face
    Crack the myths and be practical

    THE ISLANDS

    The islands is friendly, I

    know that is true

    They welcome everyone -

    from me and you.

    The ocean is blue - the

    sun is a star,

    You can walk on the

    beaches - you can

    walk so far.

     

    The islands have love -

    and beauty is there

    The people will say;

    hello, because they

    do all care.

    The islands of paradise -

    it's there for you to

    see,

    Once you are there -

    you shall always be

    free.

     

    The islands are magic -

    to the eyes, and more,

    Just laze in the sun -

    you'll soon know the

    score.

    Embrace the animals

    as they will greet you -

    They are God's creatures -

    that is so true.

     

    The islands of heaven,

    can always be forgiven,

    They embrace the...

    MY BATTLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH

    http://thegraymonksscriptorium.blogspot.com/search?q=darryl+ashton&m=1The mind plays tricks on me

    And all I want is to be se free.

    There must be a cure out there

    to grasp and embrace

    Before I make the choice to 

    leave the human race.

     

    One day I am okay and thinking

    what to do

    Embracing happiness but there 

    is always a big queue.

    I think all the time as my head

    is list in war

    A war of being "normal" but that

    does see afar. 

     

    There are lots of other people 

    who suffer just like I do

    And no one can see their suffering

    it's hidden - that is very true. 

    You always are dreading each and

    every day

    You hate life so much it only brings

    you dismay.

    Obstacles

    Clouds try to hide my shine;
    Still, it can't prevent my glow...
    Cause, I am Sun!

    Still, clouds can't prevent my light;
    It can just hide me for a while...
    Cause, I am Moon!

    Why should I stop my glow?
    Just because of an obstacle... 
    I'll burn them into ashes;
    Cause, I am human!

    THE MAGIC BOOK PAGES

    The mind is like an open book - you

    sometimes want to close

    Page after page is telling a story - 

    but what of....no body knows.

    The pages tell a story and your mind

    can create some glory

    And if you do get stuck - there's always

    Jackanory!

     

    The mind can be stimulated as the 

    eyes open wide with glee

    And you can also make a story up - 

    and it's all for free. 

    The excitement is overwhelming as

    you turn page by page

    And can enjoy the whole book - no

    matter what your age. 

     

    The pages can see a secret and they

    know a troubled mind

    You can even enjoy the pages - even

    if you're blind.

    You see the pages are also magic as

    they can also talk to you

    That is so special the magic is so true.
