What Depression Looks Like
Depression wears many different faces. It is unique to every person. Some days are lighter, others heavier, but nevertheless, it’s always there.
I Still Taste You On My Lips
I sit here with the taste of you
Still on my lips
The smell of you
Still fresh in my nostrils
I Dreamt Of You Last Night
Is there some plan
That is beyond me
Or is this just a reminder
To not take things for granted?
You’re A Ghost In My Mind
Your whisper is like a ghost in my mind
The subtle inflection haunting my brain
Calling to me in the night
Each and every word dragging me back
To the place I’m trying to escape
The Girl At The Bar
I see the pain in your eyes
The pain you’re trying to push down
With every sip of that drink
On The Days Where I Just Want To Sleep
I have those days
More than I would like to admit
Days where I’m ready
Ready to go to sleep and not wake up
Time Is Only Temporary
Death reminding us how fragile it is
Love reminding us how beautiful it can be
Time reminding us to not take it for granted
30 Lessons I Will Take Into My 30s
It is just as important to acknowledge your strengths as being able to identify your weaknesses.
Love Shouldn’t Be This Hard
Love should be a safe place
It should be a sanctuary
A place that restores
Not a place that depletes
I Don’t Feel Your Void Anymore
It feels different today
Lighter
Happier
There is a weight missing
That was here yesterday.
