Someone help my soul reprieve
the damage has been done
I tried to love
But all i lost
is now what i've become
A poem i wrote when i was younger and had my first heartbreak. It literally felt like it could not escape the damage

Down down below me
A place with no hope
Where all that can find me
Is this unwinding rope

In a place filled with darkness
We’re all trapped in the pain
From the cuts in our skin
To the thoughts in our brains

But one day in life
When we all come to die
The shadows of death
Take us into the sky

To a place where we're freed
From this life that we've shaped
And we're finally given
The chance to escape
This poem emphasies the figmentation in our brains when we are in our depression and feel almost as if we literally cannot escape.
I apologise if this upsets anyone, there is always help out there and i am always here to talk <3

We're a contradiction

For with every breath
We live to die
But with every beat
We die to live.

Like a shell the woods hollow
Like water the sunshine leaks  
As the leaves pass me by
I'm awoken with the calmest breeze

I hear the silent whisper
I see the glow of gold
I know that you are with me
Forever till i'm old
A poem i wrote originally about feeling at peace and the calmness of knowing my mum is always with me, even when she isn't there. But then dedicated it to a passing of life in general and the quietness we feel but the sense of comfort we still have knowing they are always watching over us.

I cannot see what you feel
I cannot feel what you taste
These senses are plenty
But boy what a waste
In a world filled with wonder
It's a shame not to feel
Surrender our demons
in order to heal
My cries they are patient
to those who can hear
but the shadows that follow
are ever so near
So come light a candle
from the tunnels inside
And face back those mirrors
For these demons,
They hide.
A poem i wrote about the feelings we hide and the demons we all have inside that we constantly turn away from instead of facing, and that by giving them up, we are also giving up the pain we need to free ourselves.

The Sun,
A smiling face on the darkest day
The only thing that reminds me to
move forward, with open eyes
A heart sustained
So close in the distance
to a world waiting at the grasp of
my fingertips
but still hidden in the shadows that
lurk beneath
I close my eyes
but still, she awakens
And in her rays, i do too
She is there for me in the darkest times,
and makes them my lightest
The Sun,
My home.
A poem i wrote about depression and the fact that no matter how dark it gets, the sun will always rise to take you away from the darkness. No matter what happens it will always rise to guide you through everyday and shine its light on the future that lies ahead. I dedicated it to my mum for she is the literal and figurative sun in my life and the most beautiful thing to ever shed light in my life.
