The Deepest Dark
When depression decides it wants to give you a firm kick in the ass it will try its hardest
i promise
but i also promise you this,
if you fight it and don't ever give up
something will come out of it
When depression hits it often feels like you have been hit by a train
again
and again
constantly knocking the wind out you
sometimes a little more each time
but you will survive
when it knocks you off your feet
get up and try again
it will happen again and again
but you can't let it win
close...

Not a Life Lesson, But A Lesson About Life
All though I know true love I also know heartache. Both go together and you are bound to feel both at varying points in your life. Sometimes, you may feel both and they will alternate pulling back and forth at your heart strings. It is that that I believe can cause the biggest reality check. The last thing I expected was to feel both all the time, but sometimes that has to happen for life to sort itself out. In the end it always does; it may just take a little longer than any of us would prefer. To be quite honest I would do away with both extremes all together but we all know how that would...

Mind the Maddness
I am ever caught in the trap of my own mind
there is no lock to keep me in
but there is still no way out
this thought is maddening
just left alone with my little demons
I wish I could escape
get out and throw away the key
I will always be my own prisoner as long as I let it happen
I can change it
but it will not be easy
I wish I had help
just let me free
just tell me I can go
I promise I won't come back
my fears will keep me away
I just want out
knock knock
hello...

Love and the Lost
I gave you more than my heart
I gave you everything and in between
I let you use that to your advantage because you were in need
now I see what a mistake that was
Now I am just trying to take care of myself
yes I am still here
but not in the way either of us desires
after I left I discovered neither one of us could mold each other anymore
that is what we were doing
mold ourselves into the person we thought the other wanted us to be
now I see how toxic that was for everyone in sight
no one could be real
wile no...

In the Belly of the Beast
What is it like being with an alcoholic you ask? Well I will tell you....
It's like watching them being in a terrible car accident over and over again until it breaks you
His illness broke me but not just me, everyone in his life around him
but somehow I am seen as just as guilty as he is
it's like I am the disease that has latched on to him and won't let go
but i'm not
i'm a victim too
i'm the only person that hasn't given up on him
yet here I am prepared to leave the one thing that gives me my only joy
we just spent two days at his...

Black On My back
When was the last time I felt this way
I am neither depressed nor happy
but I am happy with him
I go about my daily life in a perpetual state of a stagnant haze of sorts
I have no safe footing nearby at a comfortable level
more like a mile and a half away
the half represents the extra inky blackness that forms the clouds over my shoulders
I just go about my daily life as a body taking up space
when will it end?

Ivy dear
how I love you so
From the time I found out I was having you
to now and even after
I have never stopped loving you
your father and I contemplated names until we held you for the first time
when I saw your big and beautiful brown eyes I knew I had the perfect name for you
Ivy Marie
You are everything I imagined you would be and so much more
I know you have only been in our lives for a few years
it only feels like a few months for us
we stayed up with you the first two weeks we brought you home ...
