just because life isn't easy,
learn to stand on your feet,
be brave
be bold
live it like what you want.

I am Invincible
I cannot be destroyed
Like a superhero, nothing can stop me
Nothing can get in my way
Nothing will keep me from going on
I will continue
By passing any obstacle in my way
I can power though and stay strong
And nothing, even the darkest of dark times
Can keep me from achieving my goals
There is always a light at the end of every tunnel
I always make it to that light
At the end of the never-ending tunnel
Jumping over the highest of hurdles
Climbing the tallest of mountains
Whatever it takes to reach that final goal
I am Invincible

You will never hear the birds cry in the still morning.
You will learn the owl's nightly manifestation of lonely sorrow.
Your empty room will start to feel like a trap on bad nights and your own safe haven on good ones.
You will be able to hear your family's soft slumber from across the house.
You will barely be able to hear yours...
Insomnia will now be your best friend.
Treat it right or it can lead to deadly thoughts;
endless fears of sunrise.
You will be afraid of waking up..
Simply because your mind has taught you that sleep is freeing.
Your only escape from reality is late night thoughts and far away dreams.
so darling, you can always dream...
Until the brutal realization that dreams have to become reality,
and reality is making yourself useful,
and useful to others..
To the others that you hate seeing everyday.
Begin to question where your motivation went.
It wasn't always like this.
It wasn't always a constant battle of waking up for a new day.
But this is your life, your biggest nightmare.  Tell yourself, are your dreams even safe anymore?

I doubt all things
I second guess the truth
idk I guess I just find it funny
how I was so sure of you

sitting,
in the darkness of my room
trying,
trying to squeeze out something,
profound or,
heartbreaking or,
anything
to prove my worth
by spilling my heart out on a page

but instead,
i sit
slicing deeper into my soul
punishing myself
for my inability to
express
my
emotions
through the medium of poetry
despite my admiration of
the stuff,
the sophisticatedly woven lines
pieced together so precisely
they create art,
showing my attempts as inferior

but I suppose the best art is self-deprecating

A ****** up girl
In a ****** up time
With ****** up lyrics
And that ****** up rhyme
A ****** up fairytale
With a ****** up start
A ****** up prince
Holding a ****** up heart
A ****** up story
With a ****** up ending
A ****** up princess
Named ****** up Cindy.

My mind won't stop
And as I lay in bed
With silence as my only companion
And my eyes transfixed on the ceiling
I can't help but wonder
Or maybe even hope
That somewhere on this bright night
You're a little restless too

It's so like Mars to just come around when ever it's pleases.

The moon is pretty ****** lit.
Kinda makes me wonder what kinda cheese comes from it.

I wish I could just load up a rocket ship invite 5 of my closest friends & take them to a place we can only dream of & not pretend.

Robbed of our oxygen.
Sweating & coughing some,
As it turns out space just isn't all that fun.
Mars is expected to be visible at 12:30 This won't happen again for another 272 years.
Something Quiet Aug 2015
Sunlight, clocks, alarms:
They call for us, "Wake up!"
Convincing us to stumble out of bed,
Unwillingly,
As the bedsheets, the blankets, the pillows,
Are all we have.

Bosses, teachers, parents:
They call for us, "Now work!"
We persevere through the day,
Unwillingly,
Another coffee, another biscuit,
Are all we have.

Paperwork, homework, chores:
They call for us, "No rest!"
Barely surviving, we continue,
Unwillingly,
The hopes of evening, night, and stars,
Are all we have.

Eventually, it is another day over:
There is no cheer, only a sigh of relief.
We stumble to our beds, wondering,
Unwillingly,
When did we become,
Like this?
I didn't know what to post for my first poem... I guess this is okay?
A life with Depression is no life at all
Depression grabs you and takes control
it will **** you down, break you good
destroys everything that you think you good

Your life will be worthless, just wait and see,
Everyone will be your enemy.
The world is out to get you
and no word of a lie
if you let it, it will **** you dry

While listening to the night
You'll wonder, will i ever see the light?
The number of fights will continue to grow
the shouting gets louder the tears will flow
trust me on this, i know.

My bed was the only place i felt i was safe
from my life
from the world
from my own tear stained face

i lost my love, my passion, my life
Depression had me, i'll not say it twice
But where does it go?
Does it fly north?
Does it just die?
Does it fall of a boat?
Where did my passion go for hitting the right note?

It's a strange thing you see losing the thing that made you happy
No longer do i get that spark of joy
when i play a peice through cleanly.

Happy pills?
Smile?
     Laugh?
Enjoy?
well can you?
your no better than the rest
the ones who lie on street corners were just depressed.
life seems pointless, so why not try, some heroine, to make the time fly by

We all have our problems, can't you see?
we're the same you and me
My brain went off course
but now I'm back the way I should be
A 16 year old who smiles because she can
not because she was left by her man

A life with depression is no life at all
but now I'm back
I'm Happy
and I'm standing tall
This was the first poem I attempted to write. The only reason I wrote it was for a grade 10 project, but after that I was hooked on words and spent  ages sitting in class scribbling down lines of possible poems instead of paying attention
