Why does there seem to be
a sudden chain of sadness
taking lives?
I worry
that depression
will wipe out
the world.
But I will still plant
my bright yellow flowers
because hope can never die
And neither will you, or I -
not today.
Two more losses in what seems to be a year of sadness. We're losing so many beautiful people to the growing monster that is depression. Suicide is on the rise, and we're losing so many people every day.
I just want to give you a little yellow flower and remind you that you are beautiful, you are great, and you are loved. If you're struggling with mental health, or having suicidal thoughts, please reach out. Don't tuck yourself away in the dark corner. Find the light, and grab it. If you are worried about a loved one, talk to them. Let them know that you're there and you care.
This is a time where love is the most important thing we can have. Love one another, look out for one another. We all need each other.
