Florida “You are born naked, the rest is drag.” / ― RuPaul
At one moment, your depression is telling you that you don't care what happens. Then the next moment, your anxiety is screaming and clawing at you to do something. Having depression and anxiety is a constant war inside of yourself. Though, there are no winners.

Depression vs. Anxiety

Concrete
Mozzarella on my Pizza just burnt my tongue Moral of this event: " The one you love the most is the one who hurts you the most."

hurt
My room, Both a death camp and a safe zone, Rather wither away, Than face execution. Open door, Deep breath, Failure. Hand over my feelings, back to bed, laying there, friends were a conspiracy. Leaving this house a teenage floor of lava, To the armory, Wield headphones and an over grown coat. Open door, Deep breath, Stand. The sun hurt as if i just left a space ship, Fear of both know and unknown, On this planet I was the alien. Open gate, Deep breath, Walk. Pavements conveyor belts, Pushing out ghouls of society, Cubicle bound, Grey walls. Yet still asked why so scared, Of what I wish was just in my head, This earth, The land of dead.

Housebound Alien
As I descend downward into darkness. I find myself collecting omens like a ********** collecting diseases. Fighting demons, my eyes cannot see. Doesn't mean they're any less real than you or I. Living in the dark. The Sun's too sad to shine today. And you, my Love, are equally as sad.

Into Darkness.
Welcome to the South, where we teach Christ's compassion, rather than put it into action. Where we honor the Red, White, and Blue, but only want to share it with a few. Welcome to the South, Where our values are just as backwards as our deep fried diet, and our minds are just as closed as our hearts. So pull up a chair, or a double-wide, Grab a peach or a pecan pie, 'cause ain't nothin' gonna change, till DixieLand dies.

Southern Living
What is it that holds the oceans back or makes the flowers bloom what is it that hangs with precision the sun and makes it to chase the moon What is it that makes us savor love and makes our minds to dream what gives a baby his first breath and just the right air to breathe What makes us long for something more Contentment, a school boy's crush We chase it around 'til we think it's cornered But it always escapes in a rush We're all searching for something deeper Something beyond our mortal power We won't find it in our vices Or atop the Ivory Tower I found the answers in eternal hope And everything unseen My treasures lie on the other side This life is but a dream

Contemplation
and maybe we spend our entire lives running away from our greatest fears only to have them consume us in the end.

the chase.
I try to look brave, confident and strong in front of everyone, it may be wrong. It's because I learned to hide what I really feel inside. Even if it kills me, I am too proud to show the real me to the crowd. Unlike most people I always thought it's better to have regrets than remorses. So yes I'm dying behind my disguise but you'll never see it through my eyes.

Hiding
- *Lead dripping from empty sockets, a clock hissed in serpent hours, it's venom oozing from the crystal walls* it's 4 a.m. you insomnia lunatic. *I'm too busy admiring, how the man in the moon slithered through these blinds on my soul-swept window. That night I was a canvas, as the moonlight stripped my arm raw of shale, and tinted my skin with* silvertongue. ***And when he was finished, tiger stripes tattooed my thinning vessel.*** -
