DEPRESSION

Do you know what it feels like to just float around, not living life?

Especially when a million people just push you down.

Pressure builds, and you just want to scream in agony.

Repressed emotions fight to the surface.

Excruciating pain, like nothing you've ever felt before.

Sounds are just too much, and you can't deal with it.

Sensory overload, you need to hide.

Isolating yourself, unwilling to face the problems.

Overwhelming. Everything is overwhelming.

Nobody sees. You're falling and nobody sees.

  • It Gets Better

    Sometimes
    I wake up
    And I just can’t
    I can’t get up
    I can’t go to school
    I can’t go get my meds
    Why?
    Because sometimes
    It’s too much
    Accepting this world
    Is just too much
    And I just can’t
    Make myself

  • Besties

    Before we bonded

    Bullies belittled me

    And it broke my heart

    Because I felt it in my bones

    But now that we belong

    With each other's beautifully 

    Breathtaking selves

    Their words don't break
