What's the point?
I feel like I have no purpose.
So why live?
Why live when I feel worthless
Taegan Green Mar 2018
I'm feeling weak.
My arms are getting heavy,
I've been trying to hold myself up
In this sea called depression for so long.
I'm not sure if I have enough strength
to hold myself up anymore though...
I'm tired.
Maybe drowning,
can be my sleep.
How I feel
Taegan Green Mar 2018
A huge wave is forming
Little by little
It comes and goes back
Growing bigger
Getting stronger
I can feel it inside of me
I'm not sure how much time I have until it finally crashes
Until it finally destroys everything and everyone in its path
I'm not sure if I want to stop it either.
Should I let this tsunami overtake everything?
Should I let this tsunami consume me?
I guess we'll see.
We'll see when the wave finally crashes.

The fate of my life
Is in my hands
Should I jump
Just make this all
Come to an end
Would I hurt
Not just myself
But everyone around me

One foot
Over the edge
My mind is racing
Is this the right thing
I just want to make it end

Second guessing
What I thought was right
Take a step backwards
I’m so filled with fright

We all have these moments
When times get rough
To just end our lives
But you got to have trust

Trust in yourself
Your not alone
There’s always a driving force
To bring you safely
Back home...
Sometimes feels like this is the best option. Stay strong and know your not alone...

"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?

These scars on my wrist
Are not here for attention,
I'm calling out for help,
Yet no one will listen.
Taegan Green Feb 2018
I may seem happy at first glance,
or like I have everything according to plan.
But
That's just a mask.
It's what I want you to see.
On the inside, I'm breaking,
Every second I feel like I am going to explode.
I have the urge to cry,
but I have no idea why.
I have the urge to die
and knowing that no one will miss me
or bat an eye,
pushes me to do it
more and more
every.
single.
day.
