14/F I write about my struggles with mental illness and I try to create a safe haven for myself in the mean-time
Depression eats you and guts you; You feel nothing but it leaves you with bruises; You leave scars slitting your paper thin skin trying to feel something but all you feel is the same; You say you're fine but inside you are filled with nothing but shame; Everyday you look at yourself and ask is today the day; But when people ask you about your day you always respond with it was okay; You never were okay and you knew it, so one day you said 'screw it' and cried; That night you swallowed the pills hoping you would have just died

Depression
The birds that sang to make the day awake; Have spread their wings and flew away hurridly; And the sun that rose to meet the dawn has truly forlorn the sight of something; Hath saw landscapes polluted with the blood of these men that are now gone for good; At this moment the moon is shining upon the barrens; Blood glares from the grassy fields we fight on; But now all is quiet on the western front

Western Front
Me And The Moonless Night I sit alone watching the moonless night drift by waiting for it to come; I wait and wait but when it comes I am a saddening piece of depression; I wanna go home but I am just trapped in my mind trying to find an exit that doesn't exist; I spend my days and nights saying "Oh I'm fine" but really I am dying inside;People pass by asking me my story I make one up on the spot never telling them about me and my moonless nights.

Moonless
I live in a village not to far from a town where a Dreamweaver dances gleam full in the night's sky; She runs with her violet flute bringing the dream she had to create; They only ever followed her as she could never reach them; She delivered them to people with better more beautiful prances; If reached for by her they would flee; The Dreamweaver did weep wanting to follow her dreams; All she really ever did say was "Why?"; When she wept you could tell that she had given one away; She had an idea so they couldn't get away to jump down a well; She danced and played her violet flute down a small well in her town the dreams she wish she could keep following her down all the way; Once there she tries to grab one but all it did was become a wisp of her dream a dream that the Dreamweaver weeped.
