strong.

I'm always the strong one,
The positive one,
The funny one.
But strong ones don't mark their skin is secret,
Positive ones don't think about suicide everytime they close their eyes,
And funny ones don't lock themselves in the bathroom and cry to the point where they can't breathe.

So do not call me those labels, because it is simply not true.
-a.c

I tried.

UNTITLED #1

Sometimes I lay wide awake in bed,
gazing at the stars in my window
and thinking about
our own individual differences
and the secrets that they posses.

And I start to wonder
if someday
there will be someone
brave enough to discover
the depths of my soul
and unlock its secrets that
even I am not aware of.

depression for dummies

"So what does depression feel like"*

It feels like trying to run through the sand after you have just climbed out of the ocean.

Like trying desperately to hang on to the merry-go-round spinning out of control.

Like struggling to keep your head above water in a wave pool.

Like trying to climb up a steep slide and slipping down just as you almost reach the top.

Like gasping for air after you've had the wind knocked out of you.

Like having a crush on life knowing life will never like you back.

Do you understand now?
