~Depression Poems~

Love Yourself

This isn't going to be a poem, but oh well.

I needed to talk to you about something. Listen, I know it's rough now, and that you feel like you're not going anywhere in life...and that it's just better to end it now before you get any worse. But that's not the truth,ok? You're smart, you're talented, you're not annoying, you're not too loud or too quiet...you're good enough. You're you, and that's absolutely beautiful. Absolutely perfect in every way. You may self harm, or have an eating disorder, or suicidal thoughts, or maybe even all of the above like I do. And you may be ashamed of them. But you know what? Those scars tell your story, don't call them ugly. They're a part of you. Your body is fine the way it is, don't let someone get in the way of that fact. Don't jump, or swallow the pills, or kick the chair. Instead...fly, draw pretty pictures, and listen to good music. You may think that you're just going to go downhill from where you are now, but trust me...it'll get better. It still hasn't for me, not completely ... but I'm slowly getting there. Think of your favourite youtubers. Or your favourite artists. Do you listen to SayWeCanFly? He used to self harm. He thought he was a nobody, and resorted to the same thing that we have. Now, he's famous, writing music, and putting himself out there. Do you watch My Digital Escape? Johnnie Guilbert, Kyle David Hall, Alex Dorame, Jordan Sweeto....they all tried to kill themselves. Now they're living life, the best way possible. With their best friends, making money to support themselves, and just having an awesome time. They had voices in their heads telling them that they'd fail. They caved in and believed them...but look at them now. They're stronger and better than ever. Don't cave in,love. Don't let the voices drown out the happiness and beauty in your life,ok? If you need to talk, or rant, or need help, I'm here. I don't care if it's 3 AM and I have to talk to you for 12 hours just to get you to stop crying. I WILL BE HERE. Stay strong, life's a bitch but don't quit. Eat your cereal. Bye <3
