I am scared.
I am scared of myself.
Of my mind.
Of who can see the mind I have.
I am scared.

I am scared.
I am scared to hear.
Sacred to think.
Scared to be.
I am scared of me.

I am scared.
I am scared of who is in my head.
I am scared.
I am scared.

My sun
Light of my life

No matter the distance
You still keep me warm

No matter the distance
You light up the world

And no matter
How close I get
I can't catch up

I'd rather burn
Than spend the night alone

Dear Depression,
It has been about 6 months of being away from you
I would breathe a sigh of relief
but I am afraid to let down my guard
If I give you an inch you would take ten miles
You are like a lion seeking to devour me
You are like a cobra waiting to strike
They say that misery loves company
You hang around with doubt and despair
You are close chums with Anxiety who I know to well
I have know you since I was a kid
Your connection to me grew stronger in my teens
I had a few good years apart from you here and there
Then all of a sudden you were back with all your bad friends
  and my life fell apart again even worse than before
  You robbed me in regards to my relationships with family and
  friends
  Sending me into isolation
  I have to make it clear I don't want you around
  I have had a taste of happiness and peace without you
  I don't want to give it up
  I will be better without you
  I will be in the company of family and friends and with other
  people who understand
  I will be the one wearing a genuine smile
  I will be the one encouraging others when they have a bad day
  I will be a shoulder to cry on for my friends and family or for any one else who needs a friend
I will be the one who is grateful for each new day
I will be the one who is hopeful that I will part ways with you forever
I am the one who is finally pursuing my hopes and dreams
That is why I need to be away from you and all your friends
Goodbye depression I will not cry, I need to part from you
In favor of an improved life
I know at times I will have bad days but I had worse ones with you
   Sincerely,
    Ann

I returned to find my name had been stepped upon
Through no fault of my own
Through nothing I had done

Boys had interpretted something that they heard
And spread my identity around
Tinged and blackened with what they preferred

I am innocent in all of this
I wanted to fight back
But people told me not to bring it forth
It would make it worse, to cut them some slack

If I was a man this wouldn't be an issue
Please can people stick up for those who have been trodden on
This is a fight one girl cannot make alone

I see our memories all around me,
like the ghosts from former lives, trapped in time
Where we shared our first kiss, where you told me how
much you loved my touch, were we ran to escape it all

I revel in the depth and weight of precious recollection
lose myself in the countless hours spent together, two becoming one
your absence is palpable, I still hold your hand in mine,
smell your shampoo, taste your lips, feel the heat of your skin

our star burned too quickly, and the resultant supernova consumed us
Or were you my oasis--a drop of water to a dying man
that drop turned to a torrent, then a deluge that drowned me in your past

It's so much easier to speak a hard truth at night,
when you can't see the impact crater a simple good-bye leaves

So I walk these hallways, mimicing the act of living
While my head and heart are trapped in echoes of the past
My days are filled with rose-hued memories of you
I chase your ghost still
not really a sad entry, just something where I tried to express the beauty of someone who to me was beauty, and grace, and hope.  Now she has moved on, I want her to be happy, but will always miss her and what she made me feel.  kind of melancholy on a difficult day

What I Hate

I hate the one part of myself
that forgets to remember
how to stop loving
and missing
you.
as if i hadn't hated myself already.
