Depression isn't always 3 a.m.
sometimes it hits you at 3 p.m.
when you're with your friends
and you're halfway through a laugh
and you just
stop.

Stained Glass Nov 2019
When a child lives with CRITICISM, they are taught to CONDEMN.
When a child lives with HOSTILITY, they are taught to FIGHT.
When a child lives with FEAR, they are taught to be APPREHENSIVE.
When a child lives PITY, they are taught to feel SORRY for themselves.
When a child lives with RIDICULE, they are taught to feel SHY.
When a child lives with JEALOUSY, they are taught to feel ENVY.
When a child lives with SHAME, they are taught to feel GUILTY.
If children live with ENCOURAGEMENT, they learn CONFIDENCE.
If children live with TOLERANCE, they learn PATIENCE.
If children live with PRAISE they learn APPRECIATION.
If children live with ACCEPTANCE, they learn to LOVE.
If children live with APPROVAL, they learn to LIKE themselves.
If children live with RECOGNITION, they learn it is good to have a GOAL.
If children live with SHARING, they learn GENORSITY.
If children live with HONESTY, they learn TRUTHFULNESS.
If children live with FAIRNESS, they learn JUSTICE.
If children live with KINDNESS and consideration, they learn RESPECT.
If children live with SECURITY, they learn to HAVE FAITH in themselves and in those around them.
If children live with FRIENDLINESS, they learn the world is a NICE place in which to live.

To my Past Friend
Stained Glass Dec 2019
I am not obligated to explain my past and my abuse to you.
I am not obligated to tell you anything regarding my feelings.
And you are not obligated to know.
#Because in the end, it is honestly not any of your business.
#No one should feel as if they have to spill out their feelings and past in order to get along with you.

Depression
Stained Glass Oct 2019
where sometimes you don't want to live but you won't make the effort to die. You don't want to talk to anyone but you feel very lonely. It's where you wake up in the morning and simply wait for the night to come.

Mirror
Stained Glass Mar 2019
Where shall I go?
To a place where no lies
No fear
No hurt
No sorrow
And no pain follow
Where I will not be discouraged or oppressed
And here I stand
The front and in back
Here and there
I am everywhere
Nobody can hurt me
But me
Nobody can touch me
But me
Nobody can see me
But me
And I am the only one I can see
I can hurt me
I can love me
I can know me
I can hate me
What shall I choose?
It is up to no-one
But me

Mental Pain.
Stained Glass Sep 2019
.....'is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say

than to say
"My heart is broken."

WHY
Stained Glass Nov 2019
WHY
I know I like to preach to always be yourself (yeah)
But my emotions make me feel like I am someone else
Me and pride had made a pact that we don't need no help
Which feels like I'm at war inside myself but I forgot the shells
I hold my issues up for all to see, like show and tell
A lot of people know me, but not a lot know me well

Last Chapter
Stained Glass Mar 2019
The end is near
I can't keep trying
Stop asking, "If I'm okay?"
I'm tired of lying
It's almost time to quit
Most fear death but others pray for it
They'll ask and wonder why they had never seen her cry
No answers found
I'll rot deep, Deep, DEEP, beneath the ground

Strong Words?

Whenever I say I hate something people feel the need to respond with "Hate is a strong word"

I love that,
I love you."
