Hello There!!

Hello there!!

I unfortunately did not keep up posting on this account, but if you did want to see more writing and the rest of this project, it is available in its entirety in Instagram!

“This is a story of how things were, how everything felt

and all that became of me in the timeframe of that scene

This is a story of how you can change your hues,

embrace the life given to you and turn your blue into serenity"

Blue Serenity is the first poetry book by Dan Roberts which explores a dark period of his life from late teenage years coming into adulthood. It details the many feelings felt when one feels trapped in unfortunate predicaments and follows the process of coming back to oneself, guided by the hope that there is a better life out there after all.

Help Me Now.

Today, I felt it again The familiar hole I am always buried in I tried to pick myself up within but I am falling down under and feel so helpless

Today I feel frozen I am paralyzed and do not think I will feel again because no matter what I take or where I go, I feel lost to the point of no return and fear I will never find my home

I have been searching for the light inside but my darkness overcomes me and I long to hide Can someone save me? I can feel myself falling down into the trenches Buried by my endless sadness, I have been suffering for what has felt like ages

I beg of someone to come and help me now

Dreams.

Pacing, racing I never miss a beat Tossing, turning I never seem to sleep The thoughts keep reoccurring as I wonder lately why the world keeps on suffocating me until I can hardly breathe I just want somebody to help me because I am all alone

Drinking, thinking with too much in my head Shaking, aching I can hardly stand I have been wanting to evolve my entire life so that it finally feels good to be alive I want to cease the crying but I am so tired of fighting and feeling alone

I wish I could drift off and create my perfect life I would take you with me to stand right by my side No one would see us dancing with the stars above Our hearts and these scars are what my brightest dreams are made of

Blue Emissions.

I am lost in between a life lived and a lonely present, struggling to meet the road that will lead me into betterment All that I thought I knew has been wiped away along with the knowledge that communicates who I am I do not seem to know much these days

There is a past I know must exist for I have gathered all the necessary evidence by residing in a body, living at this current moment Yet, I feel disconnected to all its continuity because my brain is unreliable and my mind is preoccupied with constant information overwhelming my system each and every day

What I do know is that I am freshly eighteen, young and alive but my surroundings are constantly bleak and dry, overloaded by undersaturated moods coloured in constant doom If I were surrounded by love and laughter, I would never know Being distracted and hypnotized, I am oblivious to other life forms alive and my memories are fleeting, dissipating from my consciousness as each of my pure petals fall

Soon, I will be nothing at all I already feel as though I am

Only Me.

It is another lonely night where I am stuck inside of my head, wishing somebody was here beside me in this bed This occurs constantly and never seems to go away You are leaving me here tonight though I wish I could make you stay

In the end there is me, only me A naked soul trying to find my way home but I feel lost, not knowing how to find my road Can somebody help me stay afloat?

I am drowning on my own trying to get by, watching the world pass me by Sometimes I do not think that it is worth trying anymore so I think of packing my things to go, leaving behind a closed door

Because in the end there is me, only me
