24/F/Illinois I'm an aspiring writer and photographer! One day wish to publish a book full of my photography and poetry together to share my struggle, thoughts and let people know they aren't alone. Your story matters.
We are the wounded few We fought battles unlike any other We fight We may lose something along the way But if we fought hard enough, We won. We are the few that are scarred Scarred from battles past We may live in the past sometimes But these scars show, We survived. We are the scared few We are scared of the future, Of things we can and can't control. But we can control our future. We will conquer our fears. We fight battles All of us. We have stories All of us. We are scared. All of us. We are all the same. Every single one of us.

We are the wounded, scarred and scared
One second, i felt fine and everyone once in awhile i would get down but i would get right back up. Now, I feel as if i only become worse overtime. I don't know where i went or if I'll come back. People say it's temporary, but its been years of constant struggle and secret pain and a never ending battle with myself. My whole life feels like a blur and i only remember the worst events in my life or a few rare happy moments. Pictures are the only way i can jog this fogged memory. Which yet sometimes those photos seem unreal. Looking at myself in the past I played off everyone by faking it and still do. I look back on photos of me and i don't recognize myself. I see those old photos someone i never knew. Someone, who faked it all. Now my heart is crushed and bleeds out slowly. As it drips through my body i can feel everyday coming closer to the end of my survival. My brain isn't scared but my heart is terrified. My hands won't **** but my head will. My body isn't well but my heart keeps it a flow. I may not be who i was back then but pain caused me to become bitter, broken and quiet. Where did I go? Who am i? Why am i here?

pretty girl
We use to be wound tight like two vines wrapped around another. We laugh, we cried, we were messes at time. Then the one day you got yourself a precious new flower. You guys began to bud together. Eventually that wilted and we grew back together. Months later you got a new budding partner and you began to grow with him. Yet, you seem to forget all your partners. You forgot who helped you grow into this beautiful flower. I gave you so much sunlight in order to see you blossom into your true self. You forgot and left me to wilt away with winter. I helped you grow through everything. I told you patience and time will allow a partner. Yet. In the end i didnt mattee to you. My vine is shriveling and my petals hit the ground. I wasnt dying because of you. I was dying because i realized you never wanted to see me grow, the way i wanted to see your grow. Now im starting to bud and grow alone without you. Im wrapping around and becoming a flower without you. I deserve sunlight now. I deserve a friend who actually cares. I deserve someone to save me from myself. You have fun blossoming with your new partner. I'm happy your growing and one day maybe when im truly gone forever, you'll realize how much i was there, or maybe not. Thank you for the growing lessons. Its time for me to blossom.

The process of self healing. (Short story poem)
She was heartless Till she realized She had people who loved for her She suffers from depression Till she realized She's can make changes to her life. She was silent Till she realized She had a voice stronger than she ever knew. She think she is talentless Till she realized She is special She thinks she is unappealing Till she realized She is beautiful inside and out. She wishes for nobody to be in pain. She wants people to realize they aren't alone. She wants to use her voice to tell others how important they are. She wants to tell people be selfish, just to make yourself happy.

Realization
Blink once Your alive Blink twice Your gone I blinked And one second you were breathing I blinked again Then you were dead. Every time I blink I lose time seeing. Every time I blink I miss something. Every time I blink I see only darkness behind the lids of my eyes. Everytime I blink. I lost the chance to say goodbye. Chose your moments to blink. You might miss out on something special or miss saying your last goodbyes.

Blink
Cycling again The same old spell I've been under for years I start to become more positive Starts seeing the light of happiness Yet it comes crashing down again Over and over I'm stuck in a vicious cycle of spiraling out of control. I abuse and abuse Drugs, alcohol, and eating I start not to take care of myself again. Then it slows down I pick myself up just to fall within minutes, days and sometimes months. This cycle lasts longer each time. My habits become more vicious To the point where I don't know where I am Don't care if I die I just want to get higher and higher for this never-ending pain to go away. Simply why can't I stop this madness. I don't have dreams or goals anymore I wish for one thing every birthday or every shooting star I've ever seen. Just to wanting to be happy. Just one time, I would love to know what is life like without : overthinking being depressed Not being angry. Just a girl wanting to be normal.

Vicious cycles
The art I use has no meaning I use be radiate happiness Creating art is no longer in me I willow away like leaves falling off during autumn. People tried to push me towards my dream. But my depression took it's grip. And there went my dreams down a dark spiraling hole. Art saved my life for the longest time. As well as many other things. But all the things I used to love and enjoy. Are slipping out of my hands. Then what will happen? The dark cloud will consume me like it had many unknown others.

The unknown
Do you care? About any of the thoughts and feelings I have. Do you care? When my depression makes me isolate myself Do you care? About me at all. Do you care? About my suicidal thoughts. Do you care? When I cry. Do you care? If I'm happy or even doing ok. Do you care? That i try to support and love you, when I shouldn't. Do you care? Of anything I've tried doing for you. Do you care? That i still try to be your friend when you've left me at my darkest hours. Do you even care. I can't keep staying and trying much longer. Just let me go so I can heal. You aren't a friend to me anymore. Your just a stranger to me now.

Do you care?
There's a problem with our society Worse than insecurities, depression, and anxiety It's how we deal with these problems Rather, it's how we cause them If we disagree, we're just wrong We're put down and told we don't belong We've not been given a reason for what not to say We've learned to just hold our thoughts at bay There are kids who want to talk but fear the label So they remain quiet and in line, feeling disabled We wonder why they'd come to school with a gun Yet we allow where these thoughts begun There are things missing from our history books Hidden by the sole judgement of how we look Drown out the world with sound when alone It's not their problem, but I don't have a home A teacher never fails, it's you who takes the blow But the greatest lessons we'll never know They teach us the professional way But we can **** ourselves with razorblades We rather not talk about suicide So we push the truth down even further to hide We become a far more dangerous group of kids Although it's our culture that forbids Yet we glorify those of honor and praise Celebrating them as they gave to the grave Please don't be afraid of our opinion But we think our culture treats losses like a win Listen to me--these words are very convenient Our opinion will not be lenient Why is it we know them for their death But otherwise, we don't care for their breath We don't quite get what we're communicating Death is a logical way is what we're saying They begin to believe they're better off dead But we must help them get through their head Our voices are clear--we're demanding action These people aren't worth it--they get a fraction I mean no disrespect to who is left behind But we must know this should not be glorified We must understand what we're engraving And the affects on how we're behaving Do not give to the succession in a grave But fight with us in the path that we pave They need to know, together they will get far This ambiguity is not who we are
