God is sharing
His word
His will
but
Still whispering

"It will be 2 or 3 weeks before there is any change."

I doubt these will help at all.
This pit in my chest, it won't ever be gone.
Depression can't be cured. Or that's what I heard.
I've felt bad for so long, would feeling okay just feel wrong?

I was sitting on a bench, reading a book
Smiling
To myself. No one was watching.
I was smiling for me, naturally.

The change creeped up slowly.
So slow I almost didn't know.
I'm suddenly crying, confused
Thankful!
I didn't think I would ever again
See how bright the sun had been.
Notice how nice the breeze felt against my skin.

A tiny change, some pills a day
changed my life in a meaningful way.
I promise you, I'm not happy all the time. But I feel all emotion
Instead of constant inner commotion.

Thank you. Thank you.
Thank me. I could have ended it, I almost did twice. But right now,
Living feels nice.
People hate on antidepressants all the time. Theyve saved my life. Ive tried many kinds and finally found the combination that works. Please if you feel hopeless and alone, go to a doctor. The pills have helped me get into counseling and start a journey towards healing. Depression is scary, please please please don't limit your options from the get go. You CAN get through this. Much love

Constantly calling
Forever haunting
Will it ever be known?
This terrible truth?

Tired eyes
Barely open
Never catching a single solid time
All broken
Fractured
See me
And save me

Oh friend
Lift me up
I am slipping
Going under
White wings
Tainted
Faded to black
To which I am falling into
Unable to escape

Can
       You
              Hear
                       Me
                             Sing
                                     Myself
                                                 To
                                                       Sleep?

we were intertwined
in a life full of lies
consuming thoughts
of losing you
pulling at my spine

disconnected from intelligence
treacherously deciding
who is it that brings me happiness

I am almost sure it is not you
for you exhaust me
I am lost in his intimacy

He wrapped his love and comfort around me
by only a thin thread
easy to break through
but as I refuse to move
the thread remains intact
wrapped around my hips
of where your hands caressed so gently

I tied my love to your hair
thousands of strands flowing everywhere
I hope sometimes they fall
masking your eyes
to remind you that they´re still there

how could it be you would let me fall asleep
even as we only held each other in secrecy
I would have to leave before morning

she wishes we had nothing
is it jealousy
somebody taking away her best friend
but I can´t get you out of my head
im still waiting

save me from the cruelest
save me from the dark
help me ease the tension
from the trials and confusion
help me, please, I ask you
save me from my mind.

sharing my poetry
is like ripping off a band-aid
to a gushing river of blood

thoughts and feelings
crashing, tumbling
across the rocks
that line the bottom of the river bed
