My Depression

I like to take cold showers

 

I like to see

How much

I have to turn the dial

Until my body is as

Numb

As my mind

 

People say

Depression

Is a fog

A dark hole

A piercing dagger to the heart

 

For me

It is an anchor

It keeps me grounded

Cause without my sadness

I would be lost

I would not be me

I would be alone

 

But

It drags me downwards

And

I cannot see beyond the darkness

I cannot breathe through my panic

I cannot move under the pressure

 

And I

Am

Alone

Positive

A positive attitude helps you in every walk in life. This can help you overcome life’s many obstacles with a little ease. A positive attitude can take you places. Being optimistic about your approach can turn many situations in your favor. If you are feeling blue and the world has turned against you think positive thoughts and you may feel much better and be ready to face the world.

Left Behind

 

Here lies the girl I could have been

The one who could smile

Have fun

And blend in

She could dance

Regret the same things

She was by no means the dumbest

They said she was smart

But she knew for sure

She chose to remain back

Here lies the girl I am

The one who stressed

Stayed at home

And stuck out with a frown

She couldn’t dance

She stuck to people like her

And she had few regrets

Besides not having anything to regret

And she kept herself busy reading her books

And they said she would go far

But she knew she was still not there yet

The girl here now sees the girl that could have been

She doesn’t know which she prefers

But she does know

That every year

She cries that it could have been her that got left behind.
