Deep beneath the depths of me,
Are buried wounds you cannot see.
I wish for others to feel my pain,
For in my mind there is a stain.
A stain that remains inside my head,
That makes me wish that I was dead.
'Tis a fight only I can wage,
Against the chaos and the rage.
So much darkness and decay,
That I can barely keep at bay.
I often long for some relief,
A helping hand to hold my grief.
I carry hope within my heart,
That my mind won't tear apart.
My pain is crushing inside of me,
With this illness you cannot see.

Tired
Worn down
Out of options
In the dark again
Falling down life's rabbit hole
I begin to breathe
There is light
Slow smile
Relief

I hear a whisper in the night.
"I am enough".
And it fills my heart with joy.
But the joy is fleeting,
As I do not feel worthy of it's song.
The whisper fades in the static of my mind.
Feelings of guilt and shame,
Replace the whisper's cry.
The self-loathing rises up once more.
An ever present rumble of isolation,
Controls my inner thoughts.
And I am filled with a sadness,
Of what my life has become.
A stranger now resides within me.
She is filled with loss and regrets
The tears begin to flow,
And fill my eyes with longing,
For the girl I left behind.
I am so very tired,
Of this battle in my mind.
I push aside my inner darkness,
And I look to the stars for comfort.
I whisper to the night.
"I am enough"
"I am MORE than enough".

The stars begin to fall,
Through the darkness of my mind.
With quiet whispered calls,
Only chaos will they find.
Here colours swirl in time,
To the madness found within.
They start to flow and rhyme,
Until anxiety begins.
A crushing, pulsing weight,
Is baring down on me.
An overwhelming hate,
Of what has come to be.
I long for something more,
Then blackness and decay.
To find an open door,
And float my fears away.
My dreams are full of lies,
Full of vile thoughts that bleed.
They dance before my eyes,
And on my anger they do feed.
I wish for brighter days,
For a glow within my heart.
But this void forever stays,
And it tears my soul apart.
Pain is roaring in my skull,
Full of waves of raging fire.
It keeps my senses dull,
So my will begins to tire.
Exhausted from the fight,
From this battle in my mind.
I am lost without the light,
And my sanity unwinds.

Even an ordinary day has the potential to become a great adventure, if you approach it with childlike wonder and fascination.

You will never embrace this life, unless you embrace yourself first.

My life feels like an island,
Secluded in the distance.
Its beauty fails to reach my eyes,
And I am trapped within this.
Time is now my enemy,
It often feels so endless.
It promises of a future bright,
And a life that's full of richness.
I no longer seem to recognize,
This life set out before me.
I wish for love and better days,
And the feel of strength within me.
My thoughts are in control of me,
But I fight with new conviction.
I wish to change my life around,
And free my sorrow's addiction.
With passing time I feel new hope,
And my eyes are finally open.
I see a life without despair,
And a life no longer broken.
