"All those wasted year
All of my broken youth
Behind the pretty lies
Exists the ugly truth"
You know what is the worst part of being depressed in your teenage years, the missing out. The missing out on things you used to love as a child or as a tween. The missing out on the full high school/middle school experience. The missing out on being a child. The missing out of being immature and crazy and weird.
All of this because you were exposed at a very young age. It doesn't matter what kind of exposure you have been through. Any kind of exposure, like drugs, suicide, family issues, identity issues. These were not the things we were supposed to be worried about at that age. Or at least that is what every adult told us. We were supposed to be worried about silly things, like a world that doesn't have candy anymore or that watermelon seeds would grow inside us if we ate them or something.
But what makes us really worried? I don't know about others but here are a few things I personally worry about and feel anxious and depressed about
• World hunger
• World peace
• Surgical Wars and Cyberwars
• Suicide bombing
• Terrorism
• Sexual assault
• Homophobic People
• Natural Disaster
• Political decisions that affect people's lives
• and more
These are things that I think about and worry at probably 3 am. But no one gets it. I know that these things are way out my control and I cannot control everything, but that is what makes it so bad.
We were too young to be this broken.
All our words going unspoken.
Our hearts were in crying in pain.
Our tears dropped down like the pouring rain.
