Author's note- I struggled with on-and-off depression for a couple of years so a few of the proceeding poems may be very dark. I believe that looking back at the poems I wrote during that time in my life really help give me a good perspective on where my life is now and how blessed I am to be surrounded by people that love me and care about me. That being said, If you wrestle with depression or have in the past, I urge you to talk to someone you love and seek help. Thank you :)

Drowning.
That's what it feels like.
Alone every day, left with only my own torturous thoughts.
Every day the constant stream-- so many arrows and daggers that I launch at myself.
I try to scream-
"Help Me!" I cry.
But it's no use. My lungs fill with silence. My mind wages war on my heart; no one can help me because no one can hear the epic battle within.
I fall.
I sink.
Deeper,
Deeper into my own despair.
I drown in my thoughts until I am no more.
The silence has won and I am gone.
