Poem: Unstable people
I have been a very unstable adult until the last few years
my mental health would take dips
I'd get into ruts
life was a lot more up and down
periods of inflation and deflation
easily triggered
to inclinded to let negative emotion steer me
if I had a bad feeling when starting a project
it could derail me
when it comes to people i'm always coming to negative conclusions as to why they do or did what they did or said
choose to see malace and manipulation
over ignorance and unnawareness
jumping to conclusions that paints the other person in unfavourable colours
instead of seeing the best in them and giving them the benefit of the doubt
but I'm more aware of that now, and thats a big start
don't get me wrong I'm a loving caring person
but I do have a persecution complex
and paranoid schizophrenia
the combination of the two
makes me think people are trying to derail or hobble me at times
but in the last few years
I've been able to keep n good terms with people without
giving people the cold shoulder
because of a hurt
or a percieved slight
and my productivity is through the roof
If you want to be productive
and stay on top of life
but you are unstable
it is so important to make your number one priority
overcoming that instability
this is whats holding you back
from going where you want to be
if you fall into ruts constantly
or have people problems where you feel your always getting the wrong end of the stick
if you want to get ahead
you must work on becoming more stable
you'll be discounted otherwise
and put in the to hard basket
I hope this helps
