Depression Quotes

189

i spent a lot of time
searching for affection
in shallow places

i gave people bits of me
they didn't deserve
and i let myself be hurt,
because i thought
that's what i deserved

but once i let go
of trying to shove puzzle pieces
in places that did not fit,
once i let go of all the hate
i secretly had stored in the
gashes that decorate my heart

i met you

-m.k.
