lover of books, tea, and tumblr. dreamer of fairytales, paradise, and happiness.
today i imagined depression as the dark hole to wonderland, and i imagined myself as alice. i, i am falling. to where: i don't know. why am i falling: well, i took a wrong step. when i first fall down, i can still see the light. i can still feel happy, i can still remember how to be happy. but as i fall deeper, i lose sight of the light above. i start to forget the things that made me happy, i lose track of the memories. i am only happy once in a while. i fall too deep. so deep that i can no longer see the light above. ever. my eyes might as well be closed because at least then i can imagine happy things. i feel as if i will never experience them again. this hole is never ending. but there is a wonderland. it is below me. i know that much. but what is it? what does it look like? when do i reach it?  when do i land in happiness and forget the bad things? i've been falling forever. my theory is that you are my wonderland. you are close, i know it. but you are still so far. you still feel impossible to reach, but i know that you are my destination. you are my happiness, the thing that will me make me forget all the bad things. you are everything i want and you are everything i need.

alice in depression
crying is a sign of being strong and i am weak like the shoulders that support me

your arms crawled upon my body like vines, entagling me in a love that was only fatal. you made me soft at the edges, you taught me to forget everything that made me me. covering me up and hiding me. only taking me out when you needed someone. no wonder i find it hard to speak.

speak
YOUR ARMS WERE PRETTY FLOWERS TO BEGIN WITH, BUT THEN THEY WRAPPED AROUND MY NECK AND CHOKED ME

hell [10w]
to think, i thought that i was finally happy; that maybe i was getting better at dealing with the world around me. turns out, it was all a lie, a façade that instantly fell away the moment you returned. my life flipped upside down, melted to mush, and faded away as i entered your arms. the song i was supposed to know, wasn't there. the halls, the walls, the streets i should have been familiar with, felt like strangers. the plants and creatures i could have welcomed, seemed to me to be a disguise for the monster inside. this home never felt like home to me.

Happiness [10w]
snuggle in, and find delight, in midnight snacks and cozy bedding. let the happiness fill you with warmth. you are okay, for now.

the coldness creeps in... i remember you, old friend. the sadness is back to haunt me, like a raven, forever perched on my shoulder.
