I have tried to end my life before.
Living life like I was staring at a closed door.
I would not move forward.
Because I was afraid to lose more.
Staring at that closed door.
I let my body bleed.
I let my depression feed off of my soul as my body gave away to scars and soon enough I was seeing stars while others were living large.
But then I remembered.
The world wasn't gonna stop for me.
So maybe now isn't the time to let my depression feed.
I saw my life go by.
I watched my life over and over through the eyes of someone I despise.
Myself.
I watched the child which I have come to know as me carry a doll to her mommy.
I watched myself as tears filled my eyes and hope healed the lies.
That laid claim to my body and chained my mind.
I am okay now.
So right at this moment.
I'll be saying goodbye.

PoetryThis is a book I write in to relieve my mind of the horror it creates for itself. Poems or not, they're words. Definitions or examples, they're words. My words. Read it or not, they're my words.
