Are you falling or rising when you have freedom? The questions go on, but this one is the most important one…
Tis you should tell yourself that over and over again.
Y’all tend to think y’all are better right? Because nobody has seen what you’ve done in the dark.
You should already know by now that you become what you speak, so be careful who you talk apon.

People tend to dance around their problems, dodging because they are afraid they are the problem.
People fill the void with everyone they meet. But us depressed people get told it’s all in our head, yet they still wonder why we bottle it all up.
We talk about our feelings, but now we are the ones who are oversensitive.
We often feel it’s a lonely road and they don’t care about what we know.
And sometimes we just chill with our demons and that’s it…
Like take us back to yesterday we say ever so often.
Sometimes we just need a hug from someone who is proud of us…
Sometimes the waves hit us like a wall of bricks, and SOMETIMES this is the type of stuff our friends don’t wanna be bothered with.

Depression is like the tides and currents you can’t control.
It’s like we have a purpose, but we only have so much time.
Are we being tested with freedom?

We tend to smile because it confuses people. Because it is easier than explaining what is killing us inside.
We are simply just victims whose story hasn’t been told…
We like to say “living well is the best revenge” and “having self-humanity is powerful”
It gets dark before dawn for us.
We feel we are running out of roses to give, and we wonder… where do all the lonely people go?
That’s when we realize… hearts can break themselves.

And that leads us back to the question “Are you falling or rising when you have freedom?” I think it is both because you see, when you have freedom, you have the choice to do whatever you want basically, it’s like handing the world to you early and it really just depends on who has the freedom to decipher if you will be falling or not. Because you see, you have the option to call for help if it is there, but sometimes it’s not there, and you have to guide yourself… but that’s not always the case, you can rise because you also have the option to become creative, or sometimes you can choose to do the right thing even if nobody’s watching, but then there are times where you think you are doing the right thing or you are… but you still fall… that’s where depression comes in suppressing your scream and making you bottle up emotions and some you never even knew you had, and everything above this paragraph is your thoughts...
This poem goes over freedom and what it is or can be like when you have freedom or been given freedom. This poem also goes over the question \"Are you falling or rising when you have freedom?\" My goal for this poem is to answer some questions for people who have or have been given freedom and what you can possibly do when you are spiraling to failure. I hope you enjoy this poem.
