Happiness is a friend who left me on read
Purpose ignored my snapchat
Complacency blocked me

I found new friends
But I don't like them much

Loneliness tells me jokes, at my cost
Sadness cuddles with me, but her touch is cold
Humility points out my strengths
and my flaws

I want my old friends back
-

I feel like a pistachio shell
With no nut inside
****

I avoid depression
Like a boxer
I bob
Weave
Duck
And block
But on occasion
Depression lands a hit
My smile fades
And my eyes sink
My mind wanders
And my voice goes quiet
The light inside dims
As the fire grows cold

I’m on the ground
Trying not to be knocked out
I get on my feet
And swing back
Show depression every reason
I have to stand
My corner of the ring is full
And depression fights alone

You were my moon
Like the ocean you controlled me
Pushing and pulling

I was but a shooting star
Burning bright in the sky
You made a wish
Then forgot I ever existed

I am blind in this world
There’s nothing I can see
But love is a blanket of darkness
And in darkness only the blind can see

For no island's without her sea's
no peace is without its release
no heart's without her blood and doubt
no reason to live without
without love

Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.  
It does not dishonor others,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.
