(A poem:)
Everything that
I have ever known
is slipping away
into greyness and
black skies.
The wind is blowing
away my hair and my
sanity dissipates
into thin vapour.
Should I stay?
My mind is waging
a war I am too
weak to fight,
my heart is crumbling
inside this flimsy grasp,
and the ashes fall to
the ground.
The shadows keep chasing me.
Should I stay?
My eyes turn away
to face a bluest sky,
tears adorn my face
and the skin breaks
a p a r t.
My ribs cannot contain
the sadness that
beats inside my chest.
Should I stay?
God, only you can save me now...
I know it's hard, and you don't know of a different reality than this one that you're living right now.
But... why don't you stay alive to find a different reality?
You are capable of happiness. But depression is an illness that contains you and suffocates you.
But that reality is somewhere inside of you. I see it every time you smile genuinely for no reason, when your eyes shine with passion, when you laugh and can't stop laughing, when you fight.
So become that reality you are constantly searching for. Stay alive to experience it.
