Home

I have made a home
for the sadness living inside me
I have fed it with my fears
it has grown strong on my doubts
in return it gave me nothing
instead taking all it could;
my smiles
my strength
my sanity
until I am left barren and empty
a shadow of myself
a crumbling shell of a house
that depression claims as home

To Know One, Is To Know The Other

To Know One, Is To Know The Other

To feel love
You must know hate

To feel joy
You must know pain

To feel surrounded
You must know being alone

To feel free
You must know being cornered

There is always a negative
To a positive
A good
To the bad
Yin to yang

I've faced my fears
Been to Hell and back
Been pushed to my limits
Been close to death
I've shed so many tears

But don't get my wrong
My beloved readers
I'm no coward
I haven't backed down
And I won't back down

Because I know pain
I know love
Because I know sorrow
I know joy

Life is a series of hardships
Life is a never ending war
Between good and bad
Happy and sad
Love and hate

The pain of yesterday
Makes me stronger today
The sorrow of tomorrow
Helps me value the now

Since I've been to Hell and back
I know the value of love
I know the meaning of friends
And family

Since I know death
I know life

Since I know death
I know how to fight
Even if it is hard

Since I know life
I know what to fight for
Even when hope seems lost

Wouldn't it be great
If we just had nights
We could be lost in the thoughts
Forever; all the time....

For people who are deep thinkers, night time is often 'their time'. The time when they lose themselves in thoughts, often interpreting the unsaid things, trying to make meaning and sense of life. What if nights never ended and there were no days? How would life be like for such self-made philosophers?

The Art of Being "Too Much"

The Art of Being "Too Much"

Too quiet or too loud.
    Too aware of my surroundings or too far into
    my own head.
Too social or too isolated.
    Too distracted or too focused.
Too anxious or too emotionless.
    Too awake or too tired.
Too giving or too selfish.
    Too many thoughts to speak or too little to
    form a sentence.
Too easygoing or too manipulative.

             Too much. Too much. Too much.

It's always black or white

how beautiful

how beautiful

how beautiful the art of
communication
holding power to
heal
what has been broken,
holding power to
restore
what has been lost,
holding power to
reunite
the closest of friends,
how beautiful the art of
forgiveness.

how much more beautiful is
the One
holding greater power to
orchestrate
these melodies
out of deep
love.

I have

Have you ever physically felt a heartbreak?
Have you ever drowned in your own tears?
Have you ever cried so hard your head feels like it's going to explode?
Have you ever wanted to die so your forget the memories?
Have you ever loved so strongly and cared so deeply, that when it's gone, you feel an immense amount of pain?
Have you ever wanted to be loved and wanted?
Have you ever taken pill after pill hoping you might not come down?
Have you tried to silence your pain?
Have you tried to silence your mind?
Have you ever woken up and just said I'm done?
Have you ever?
