Light
Enamels the naked
Trunks, cleansing
Sun strikes

The unraveled trees
Bolted to frozen ground
And the leaves
Mosaic,

As any temple
Floor, iconic,
Pray, tell stories
Of turned seasons.

In winter
Snows come merely
To raw, all unwashed
And drape purity,

White as truth
And sparse is song
From only the most
Devout birds

Who with Hymn,
In the piped choirs
Of icicles, drip
Drop to blessed waters,

Anointing the soiled
Sinner ground,
Waiting for spring
Eternal.

Trying to explain your anxiety to someone who has never experienced it has got to be one of the most challenging, and difficult things to do.

Anxiety is real, and it is a day to day obstacle.

My phone turns the word **** into poem without thinking about it. If that doesn't scream beautiful then I don't know what does...

My Shameful Secret
Its happening again.
This suffocation
I can't breath.

I need help,
I'm drowning in a sea of depression,
and I can't save myself this time.
I've already given up.

Maybe you should just give up on me,
I'm already a lost cause.
I'm worthless.
Useless

Everyone has a talent in this world,
or so they say.
I must be good at nothing,
because I have no talents.

Jealousy is knocking at my door,
I wish I could do half of the things you could,
but I can't.
I'll never be as gifted,
talented,
smart,
or kind as you are.

When I'm gone, everyone will be sad.
For a couple days, at max.
Then, they'll move on,
they'll for forget about me.
So will you.
That's just the circle of life.
Depression is a constant cycle,
once you think you've escaped,
it drags you back,
so it can torture you even longer.
