In the worst of times, Hello Poetry is here for me.
She is the only one I can talk to; the only one that understands.

When I crave death the most, I hear a faint whipser from her.
She calls to me, begging me to let her bear my burden,
even just for a time.

She holds me tight and lets me know that I'm not alone.
She tells me that everyone hurts sometimes, and not a bad thing.
She reminds me that my past troubles have passed, and this will too.

Hello Poetry, the one who comforts me when skies are gray
and all seems lost.
The one who doesn't care if I ramble on about the same thing for hours.
The only one that won't judge me for the things I have done, or the things I say.
Nothing I say is stupid to her, all my thoughts have value.

And even though she knows that once she has revived my spirits
I will leave her and completely forget about her for some time,
She selflessly lets me go, knowing that one day I am bound to return.

Even if that day would never come, I know she would celebrate instead of mourn, for she has helped me finally climb out of this hole that always finds a way to bring me back in.

One day I will be okay, and it's all thanks to you, my dear.

"Never give up on someone that you can't go a day without thinking about."

"Letting go of someone dear to you is hard, but holding on to someone who doesn't even feel the same is much harder."

Well then what am I supposed to do?

I'm becoming numb to the pain.
How long will it be until I feel nothing at all?

Shared grief may be "half the sorrow", but not for me.
How can I share my pain when I know it will make others sad or worried?
That would make me feel even worse.

What do I have to be depressed about anyway?
I have a good life.
I had a good upbringing.
I have friends and family who care.
I don't have to fight for survival.
I don't have to worry about becoming a casualty of war.

Despite having so much to be grateful for, I hate life.
I don't fear death, I long for it.

But I have to be strong.
Real men don't cry.
Real men don't have emotions.
This has been drilled in my head so much that I don't even know how to feel.

I know I'm upset but I can't explain why.
I know I'm upset but I can't even cry.

All I know is that I have so much to be grateful for,
But I would still rather be dead.
I can't tell anyone because I would feel worse for making them worried.
I can't express it because I don't even know how and real men are strong.
I don't know why I feel like this, but I can't get over it.

Are you upset with where you are in life right now?

If not, then don't regret anything.
Every single thing in your past got you to where you are.

If you are upset with where you are in life,
Quit wasting time feeling sorry for yourself.
The past is the past and there is nothing you can do to change it.

Look at your mistakes,
Learn from them,
And work towards a life you can be proud of.

Don't regret anything.
Everything that has happened is why you are who you are.
If you don't like who you are then make a change.
Regret Nothing

It's only been a day but it feels like forever.
Missing you

There's no such thing as perfect,
But you could have fooled me
