Coping Poems
Autopilot
by Falling Awake
It seems I don't know quite how to respond,
To the pain present, within and beyond,
So, my subconscious defaults to the lead,
With habitual patterns, I proceed…
Reliant on instincts and emotions,
These primal pathways take me through motions,
Now I’m acting rash, values misaligned,
Hurting loved ones in this stressed frame of mind,
All because I’m unable to pacify,
My cortex, drenched in stimuli.

Scribbles of the Soul
by Aditi Hayaran
When stuck in the storm of thoughts,
Take a pen and write it down
Just anything that can express the pain
Even if it can't heal you completely,
It may reduce the storm to a rain.
When you feel hurt or broken,
Don't keep it unspoken.
-Aditi Hayaran (Larkspur)
Fine
by Author Reinvented
Hey,
If you ask me how I'm doing,
I'll say fine,
Dont have a lot right now that I can call mine,
But I'm doing it,
I'm making it somehow,
And that's enough for me right now.
Hey, I'm standing at the bottom of a mountain,
So I climb,

Just Breathe
by Brandon Gumz
Breathe in: 1, 2, 3, 4
Hold Breath: 1, 2, 3, 4
Breathe out: 1, 2, 3, 4
Hold: 1, 2, 3, 4, then repeat
It is easy to breathe, but
Is it easy to just take a breath?
