I didn't ask for you.

It was you who,
shining, came to me,
and told me to draw a pineapple.

It was your laugh that
made me smile so much,
from star to star.

It was you, and only
your voice what gave me reasons
to keep going in life.

Now you aren't here.*

Your shining isn't nearby,
and I look for you in space,
I can't find your lips.

Your eyes aren't around,
so there's no mirrors
to look myself into.

Your heart isn't glowing
at my heart, not anymore,
and I don't know what to do.

*No, I don't know what to do.

Butterflies
Don’t float around
Saying “Look at me!”
Or hope to be found.
They don’t ask for attention
Or to be admired
They won’t seek recognition
Or beg for your desire.

Their patterns stand out
Their colors shine bright
And without even trying
Their wings catch our eyes.
But it doesn’t matter
If we’re here or gone
Or if their beauty is noticed,
They’ll fly on.

I won’t ask
Won’t beg, won’t seek
Anyone to
Admire me.
My colors will shine
Even if they’re not awed
So despite recognition
I’ll fly on.
I see you looking,
I see you staring,
I see you glaring,
I see you guessing.

Can you see me standing?
Can you see me sitting?
Can you see me smiling?
Can you see me crying?

Do I look like I'm begging?
Do I look like I'm asking?

For what?

Do I look like I'm suffering?
Do I look like I'm dying?

From what?

Can you turn it down,
My sight is turning deaf,
The sharpness echoing through town.
I can see you churn theft.

I can't deny,
Because there is a lie,
Then the other is dry,
A truth that cannot die.

WHY
White.
All white.
The ground, the sky.
Late.
Too late?
To ask myself why.

In the blink of an eye, you start to wonder
When did it all begin?
Why did it all happen?
Will it ever stop?

Every story ends with “happily ever after”
But only to one point
Because you can’t be happy forever
No one can ever be

So take a look around
If you’re happy, you will never blick
If you’re lucky, you will never ask
If you still don’t know, I’ll spell it for you
You’re better off dead and not alive

So with time passing by, approaching Death
Don’t you want to end it sooner?
I do
I want stop right here
I want stay here frozen in time
Or not be here at all

Someone once asked me what it felt like to be depressed.
I replied "I don't know"
Someone once asked me what it felt like to be depressed.
I replied "it's like drowning while someone stands two inches away from you screaming just swim"
Someone once asked me what it felt like to be depressed.
I replied "like an empty dark void"
Someone once asked me what it felt like to be depressed.
I replied "it feels like I'm screaming for help but everyone has me on mute"
These are various answeres I've given people about my depression

shouldn't have said that
shouldn't have asked
shouldn't have dug up
things buried in the past.

shouldn't have listened
shouldn't have heard
so my eyes shouldn't have glistened
because of your discord

shouldn't have hoped
shouldn't have assumed
for it has brought me the tropes
that will lead to my doom.
i should have said nothing at all. regret asking things from you.

Figured out
how to figure them out

I never asked you                                                              ­                
To look at me                                
To care                                
To try                    
To listen    
              To make me
                       Fall in love
With you                                                              ­            

*There were a lot of things                        
            I never asked you
Not that you ever answered the ones I did ask,
Andrew.
