A short version of my story written with a touch of my hometown southern grit. I grew up in a one stop light town in rural North Carolina. I wanted to try to bring some of that "small southern town" energy thru to the reader with this one.

Pain isn't just physical; it has profound emotional and psychological dimensions. Fear, anxiety, sadness, and anger can amplify pain, while comfort, distraction, and a sense of control can diminish it. It can isolate us, making us withdraw from activities and social connections, or it can be a shared experience that fosters empathy and understanding.

Staring out the window—someone once said-—is for love songs and houseflies. Well, I've got a third one to add—it's also for single men dealing with bipolar trying to live in the divine joy of being a Nobody in his daily life...

Self-discipline and self-awareness are powerful tools for personal growth and success. While self-discipline helps us stay focused and resist short-term distractions, self-awareness allows us to understand our thoughts, habits, and emotional triggers. Together, they guide us toward intentional living—helping us make better decisions, maintain healthy routines, and achieve long-term goals. With self-awareness, discipline becomes more meaningful and aligned with our values. Cultivating both traits leads to greater confidence, mental clarity, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and the life we aim to build.

An Addict’s Story: Real Recovery, Real Courage She remembers the first lie she told herself — that tomorrow would be different. Years of chasing numbness carved a life of missed birthdays, broken promises, and quiet apologies. One cold morning, after a blackout of shame, she walked into a tiny treatment room with trembling hands and a single question: Can I be forgiven? Recovery didn’t arrive like a headline. It came from small, stubborn choices — saying no at a party, answering the phone at two a.m., showing up for her daughter when every part of her wanted to sleep. Courage was not a dramatic rescue but the quiet work of rebuilding trust, sitting with grief, and letting others hold her when she could not hold herself. Today she mentors other women, speaks honestly about relapse and redemption, and finds joy in ordinary mornings. Real recovery is patient, gritty, and deeply human—the brave act of beginning again.

This poem can be interpreted in any way, you could try to guess what the poem is originally about but the whole point of poetry is to understand it in your own way.

The garnish is offensive and needs to be stopped. I'm joking but i'm really not. I think I'm going mad.

To help avoid depression while living with dyslexia, build a support system—talk to friends, family, or a therapist. Break tasks into smaller steps and celebrate small wins. Use tools like audiobooks or speech-to-text apps. Be kind to yourself, and remember it’s okay to ask for help when needed.
