Explaining My Depression to my Parents
When my parents saw the blood stains on my long sleeved shirt, my insides turned and twisted into a a knot that cannot be untangled.
I knew that this dark secret i was hiding was finally coming out.
They cried, tears flowed like the Rivers in hidden valleys
They told me they loved me, but their words were falling upon my suddenly deaf ears.
How, how was this love?
Their so called love only showed when my blood was visible.
I was forced to talk. Forced to vomit up all of my feelings and emotions, turned into acidic bile.
Oh no, not our daughter they said.
She...

Never Settling For Less
i try so hard to be the girl you want.
i cover my face in a cloth of makeup and a forced smile
I change my hair every so often, hoping that you notice.
But you never do and the disappointment yanks at my insides, filling me with despair.
i watch the girls you surround yourself with and try to be like them.
But yet again you still do not notice.
I was a bare, naked doll, wanting you to dress me to your liking.
Style my hair.
do whatever you want as long as it catches your attention.
As time went on i noticed you were not a puppetmaster.

Where Were You?
Where were you when i needed you?
Where were you when my life began to fall apart?
When my eyes filled with tears and ran down my face every single night.
When my smile started wasting away.
When the thoughts in my head danced around the idea of suicide.
When the darkness in my heart soon took control.
When I came home to angry shouts and heavy fists.
When the sounds of whispers in the hallway became louder and louder.
Where were you that night when my cuts bled for hours?
When I needed a shoulder to cry on.
When I needed a person to just show me that...

Love Yourself The Way I Have Loved You
He took my hand asked me why i chose to keep my face hidden as if it was the gloomiest part of the world.
I felt as if I was a dark part of the moon.
Finally i had decided to let him know that it was because my soul felt a little less darker when I was able to gaze into his eyes without him seeing mine.
To observe his life and universe, only to realize that the deep dark spaces between his light, that covered his sky when night came, were only the mere discontent that loomed in both of our souls.
They were darker than mine have ever been.
The discontent en captured his...

A Picture Painted Black
I remember when we first met, your words flowed through my body.
Your words were like poetry that revived my dead heart.
Your words painted a picture for my body and soul.
They flowed through, with colors like vibrant blues and bright pinks. Filling me with complete and total happiness.
With these colors i painted myself to be the girl you wanted.
A pretty picture.
But as time progressed, your words became vile.
The vibrant blues and bright pinks that ran through my veins and into my heart were begginning to turn to black and red.
This picture was now painted...

A Deadly Game
I am depression.
You know me.
I am the voice that haunts you at night.
I love making you miserable.
Your tears, your thoughts, are the life force i need.
I thrive off it. Feed off it.
I live to destroy.
I break people down and tear apart their very soul.
I'll leave your mind grasping for a chance for it to all be okay again.
I'll stay with you.
You can numb me with pills. You can weaken me.
But i'll always come back.
i'll come back even stronger.
I love hearing screams. cries.
Beg me for mercy. Beg me to release you from...
