Darkest Before the Dawn

No sun is seen,

The pressure rises in my chest.

A clutter home,

With a noisy environment.

Just a regular routine.

Voices in my head,

I'm unsure if they're mine.

I have to do this,

I have to be that.

My cries remain unsaid.

Close friends are no longer close.

I contemplate if my life is worth it.

I drown my pillow with tears,

Scared of the present,

Living in the shadows.

I gave myself pain once a day,

Unable to see the light.

I went by life,

Feeling like a vagrant.

I felt far from okay.

How did I end up like that?

Just one small mistake,

Made me cry for the two years.

I died inside everyday.

Unsure where I would end up at.

When I needed them the most,

My friends left.

I did this alone.

Depression was a parasite,

And I was the host.

It got worse.

I got laughed at,

No one stayed beside me.

I just wanted one friend.

I was alone in this giant universe.

Then summer came.

Tired of the nights I cried,

Tired of everything,

Tired of life.

I decided to try.

In the summer of 2012,

I went out of the house,

And went to a Christian camp.

On the way there with my brother,

I met someone.

Just a simple boy,

But one who helped.

One who cared.

I was just a kid,

I knew how depression felt like,

He knew how to help.

I smiled more,

I talked more,

I was happy,

I was joyful,

And my faith was insured.

That's my story,

When I was a sixth and seventh grader.

I still live with those regrets,

But I can control them.

I know,

It gets harder before it gets better.

It's the Darkest Before the Dawn.
