Sometimes I use poetry… the structure of it… to get out my head. Needed to talk myself down from crashing out. You find your own way. This worked for me. Much calmer now.
Don’t give up.
Pain all around.
Everyone’s hurting.
Well, not everyone.
Some are causing the hurt.
Some are at the root of pain.
And we still have to find ways through.
Some pain is unbearable. No cause.
No one to blame. So we just got to cope.
So we feel it, then we refocus.
We heal, while we allow for joy.
We acknowledge and ignore.
Sometimes we choose to rest.
Some days we press through.
Or we do both.
Be where you are.
Trust yourself.
Love you.

Setting arbitrary rules helps me when I need to channel my energy positively. I often use the haiku structure (3 lines: first 5 syllables, second 7 syllables, third 5 syllables) to help me process my thoughts. Today, I made up a new system. If you’re bored, you can try and figure out what it is. lol
Concentrating on fitting the structure while getting my thoughts out succinctly is a great tool for me when I need to decompress. Maybe it’ll work for you. Thought I’d share.
Blessings!
