Be who you are. Despite what anybody says you are who you are. Be happy, People will always say things about you but let them talk. Let the people say and do what they say and do just know you are somebody and you are special. Stay true to who you are.

It’s time
I have been neglecting my writing and my craft because mental illness is real. I suffer and I deal with it just like so many other people struggling everyday just to make it through the day. I will make it just like you will make it. I can’t ignore what I love and need to invest in what I love. So starting today you will see more writings, more poetry, more inspirational messages and soon more pictures. Sine April is Poetry Month I will be posting poems all this month. Some from my book and some new ones. I hope to hear from you and I hope you enjoy.

I remember
It’s been three years since my mom passed and it feels like it was yesterday. There is no list like the love of a parent. My mom was my inspiration and my world. Always take the time to tell the people you love that you love them because you never know when they will not be around.

I am getting there
I am getting better what step at a time, one day at a time. I am thankful for the people I have met and the activities I have done because I am working on being a better me for the future. I know I still have work to do but at least I am doing the work to be a better me. I have to be better and I have to get there. Your life and your mind is important. Work on it, be active, do what you need to do to be a better you.

Speak up
Sometimes you reach a point where you have to say what is on your mind. Not because people are forcing you but because it need to come out so you can heal. I spoke about the pain that I was feeling, the PTSD, the mental demons I have been fighting and it felt good to get it out. Also, it felt good for someone to genuinely listen to me as I spoke about the pain the was keeping me stationary. I was acknowledged, I was listened to, I was told that it’s ok. There are people that will listen to you and that will have your back. They may not be your friends or family but they can be someone who listens and want to hear you. Speak up and don’t let what inside stay there.

Decision to work on me
A few months ago I made the decision to start working on me. Meaning focus more on my mental health. Work on my PTSD, work on my anxiety, work on my anger, work on my depression, work on al the things that kept my mind in a stationary state. I decided to work with a program to help me become a better me. I arrived in Florida on Monday and I have met a good group of men that share some of the same issues that I deal with and some people that are working with us to help with skills to be a better us. The military messed me up and throw life challenges in there and its a recipe for a lot of messed up things to go down a lot of bad paths. I can say that I am happy with this decision. My mind started thinking in ways that haven’t thought in a while and I feel inspiration coming back into my mind. I needed this trip and I needed to be around these people . I have to start doing more on a blog of truth and my craft. Share more of my photography, my poems, and yes, my mental health. This is how I will work on me to share a part of me and maybe that will help others.

Decide
Maybe I should end it,
since living it is so toxic.
Being a part of it is son painful,
walking it is so tiresome,
and looking at it is blinding.
Maybe I should just cut ties with it,
and let it end.
Just maybe I should…
Yea…just maybe.

And Again
Why try to keep on living
when life, itself, want me to be done?
The pain of everyday struggle,
and the pain of everyday pain
seems like a time loop of suffering.
Constantly cutting the same scars
in the same places at the same time
till time repeats itself and cuts again.
Just another day
dealing with the minds pain…
every day.
QWillis
I too hurt
Pain…
It has taken over and has engulfed who I was,
turned me into who I am,
and destroyed who I was to become.
So now I am a shell of something,
who is close to nothing,
and stuck in between of life itself.
Pain…is…pain

Focus on you
Sometimes we have to make the decision to do for you instead of always trying to do for everyone else. You have to take the time to focus on you and your own mental health so you can be ok. I have ignored mine for so long and now I am taking the steps to focus on me. Another hard and interesting journey but I am looking forward to it.
