It's late again and the room is dim
with candle lights taking over the night.
I'm swallowed in this empty space
counting the days.
How many moons must pass by
before I finally can fall asleep?
She no longer
is enough.
I've grown old.
I've grown slow.
I find my time lost in memories,
but I think it's now my turn to find someone
who looks at me like I'm glittering.
Show me the way,
Show me the signs,
I'm forgetting how to read.
Will I win,
Will, I walk,
I've seen this road before.
I've just never made it down to the end.
Luckily, the stars saw my grief and made amends with me.
They've kept me in the dark for so long,
and now are finally guiding me
through this terrain.
Through this rain.
Through the night.
Until I find someone who can carry me back
to the candle lights.
A poem about getting out of a funk and longing for love.

My depression is a figure
made of smoke.
It wraps itself around me
and suffocates me.
But I can't grasp it.
I only claw at my skin
as I try to make it release its grip.
It fogs my mind
until there is nothing left.
It filters through my being
until I'm left feeling empty.
It covers me like a blanket at night,
but this blanket doesn't comfort me.
It restricts me
and replays everything
I've done wrong.

My chest has been hurting
And I don't know if it's
A medical issue or an
Emotional issue.

and then I asked you,
"What's your biggest fear?"

you gave me a quivering sigh,
looked at me straight in the eyes
and said,

"It's that eventually, you will see me
the way I see myself."

Tear-filled Eyes,
And a broken Soul.
Pick yourself Up,
And let it all Go.

We all Know,
This world isn't Right.
But that's no Reason,
To give up the Fight.

You've been through Hell,
And that's Okay.
You're still Here,
So why not Stay?

So choke back the Tears,
And pretend you're Okay.
Take a step Back,
And watch the world be Amazed.

They can't break You,
And don't you dare Fall.
Get off that Ground,
And stand up Tall.

Show them that Smile,
That everyone Loves.
And prove to the World,
Your spirit is Tough.

And one of these Days,
It will all be all Right.
Because with every bit of Darkness,
There's some form of Light.
