Taking a step back can open our eyes  To a greater world of truth and lies  It gives us time to observe and reminisce And provides perspective we'd sometimes miss  From situations and people we already know  Things become clearer than they were before Our opinions and feelings can instantly change Even those we love, can seem distant and strange Re-evaluation is sometimes a step we need to take  Of friendships, work and other choices we make When we step back, we see all the irregularity  And more enough reason to make ourselves a priority  Some will understand and some will ignore But it's a fact of life that people come and go Reflection shows reasons why some get to stay  And opens our eyes to why we should pull away So start with yourself, it's the only way forward  Sort out your problems before you move onward  Disregard the blood, sweat and tears you spill  Cos if you don't invest in yourself, nobody else will 

Sometimes we all need to take a break When the stress of life is too much to take A few days, a week, however long you need Take all time necessary, don't let anyone impede  Too much of anything can be detrimental  It takes a big toll, both physical and mental  It's okay to take a break, recharge, and unwind  We all need to destress and clear our minds  Mentally and physically, we absorb so much  From work to friendships, family, and such  We carry as much as we can possibly muster  And when it's too much, it becomes a cluster  Our schedules make it hard to deal with it all  And we bottle it up no matter how big or small  But the sooner we take a little time for ourselves  The sooner we can take it all off the shelves  It takes time to heal and unravel the mess And reaching out will always help us progress But sometimes we have to be a little selfish And look out for ourselves when things are amiss    Life is fic...

We all battle demons in our minds  Anxiety and depression are so unkind We all go through dark times in our lives  And our support systems help us thrive  Whether it's friends, family, or even a Pro They are integral in helping us to grow in making sure we continue to fight  And helping us through the sleepless night   Overthinking is one of the worst parts  It can hurt so bad it'll tear you apart Getting lost in our own heads is bad too  It's like watching reruns of all we've been through  We go over it all more than we should  And all the bad stuff outweighs the good We all have our go-to coping mechanisms And we run to them for temporary escapism Some people endure, it makes them strong  Others reach out, and that's never wrong  A selfish few sometimes take advantage The kindness they offer can feel like a bandage  But they prey on our ability to think and cope  And give us all a false sense of hope  But there are ...

Everyone has something to say About the things, we do every day Everyone’s entitled to use their voice Whether we listen or not, is our choice People always try to cut us down But it’s up to us to swim or drown Like actions, even words can hurt Where it comes from, defines its worth Sometimes unexpected stones are cast And it’s clear some things aren’t meant to last But how important are the voices we hear? How much does it hurt when the truth is clear? Don't listen to irrational and idle chatter Think about whose opinion really matters If it questions the foundations of loyalty and trust Then weighing the pros and cons is a must So before all of it gets in your head Just ask yourself, who said?
