Depression is a dark sky, but my star’s still shining baby❤️
life is filled with dark corners
Dark corners that twist and turn, as to break a bone without pain,
but what can you do?
As a rose, it’s beauty unmatched..
But the thorns are all you fear.
My sight is clear, but empty faces,
Empty faces that scream threats with sharp eyes and piercing thoughts that cut me ever so gently
as to hide the scars from sight.
It’s my ocean, it spreads across all I know,
But the touch is all that matters
It’s the warmth of the sun on a face on a warm summer day,
It’s the smell of the wild flowers blanketing the beautiful mountain scapes hugging the sky, with gentle arms.
The touch, is all we really want.
But some can’t face it.
some things that make meeting people impossible; depression,
I long for Her touch. But she’s out of my reach.

All this time chasing
I can’t run any faster,
Let your hair down
and let's spin through this pasture
We'll live for the moment like
nothing else matters,
We'll sing about our day and
then laugh about it after,
something I wrote down in my journal, I can’t think of anything to add. It’s beautiful the way it is I guess.

I slept on a couch with my son.
7 months.. I reach out and touch
I feel the absent air in my grasp,
Waking up in the morning to my “sun.” The warmth is gone.
He’s not there, even if he wanted to be
Constant pain, as if that’s all I’m meant to see.
As I take a step my foot lands on a rock, i cry.
I trip and I stumble I call out his name.
As if it was his favourite toy.
But it wasn’t, I don’t know what that is anymore. I’m angry.
He’s a grown boy now mom,
Your grasp is strong; we’re both smothered.
Tough decisions in life made seeing my kids nearly impossible.
But I’ve Never wanted to fight for something so bad in my life.

Open your eyes now so what do you see?
9 months in the dark and it’s finally time to breathe
First time seeing my daughter,
she lit up my world.

The first time I saw her.
I wasn't ready.. I didn't brush my hair.
I didn't tuck in my pants or check my breath,
I'm nervous but it didn't matter.
I have short hair and I was wearing shorts,
a strip of gum in my mouth
She picked me up late in the night
She smiled, I had butterfly's.
The way she spoke to me..
I remember thinking to myself this is it.
She's the one..
I smiled, that feeling felt amazing.
I have butterflies...
it was the brightest night I've had.
I don't think I said goodbye when she dropped me off,
The girl I'd never say that to.
The way she looked at me.
my eyes water, I turn away.
She's the sun in my solar system.
       But now it's always night time.
First time seeing a friend in years,
She looked amazing; we were both nervous.
