is there such a place?
is there such a feeling
a yearning?
is there a day, a time
when we can all be okay?
i suspect not...
but today is a day,
and so is tomorrow.
you never know what will
happen tomorrow.
maybe she will wave and smile
maybe he will hold you longer
maybe they will love you more.
maybe the not-knowing is
enough
enough to know
that whatever happens tomorrow
i want to stick around for it.
i had a lengthy battle with depression that lasted several years. it got to the point of self-harm, and i was considering suicide. it felt like i was just underwater.... the whole world continued around me but i was stuck on this one thing. and it still feels like that sometimes. depression will never fully go away. it is a battle we fight every day. but it is worth it. you can come up from the water. you can breathe again. you just have to continue to live.
