a moment of joy
a millisecond of reflection
a pang of -remorse?
a flooding of tears
a deep breath of collection
an acceptance of fate
a surge of determination

...to smother any lingering hope

I can't breathe
I am in pain
I am depressed
I am uncomfortable
But don't worry about me
Uncomfortable is my normal
So I am normal.....
.....I am Fine.
The abandonment issues and rejection inherited and absorbed
It penetrates my core I push away
Any glimpse of the mimicking
I speak my truth
Put up barriers
I'm not sure what I'm more scared of to be left or to be loved

They told me that it's all in my head
And they were right
It is all in my head...
And my heart
And my veins,
It's in my stomach
My arms and my legs
It's immobilizing my muscles
And deteriorating my skin
So yes- they were right
But they left a few things out
Not only is it in my head
It's now completely taken over every single part
That makes me
Me

This is Depression

sometimes self-care looks like
blocking their contact
not because you've moved on
but because you haven't.

my dear,
if all you are
is matter,
i don't know how
you could ever believe
you're not important
for all my humans
who are struggling
