Tagsdepression longing selfharm teens trigger

This is a collection of poetry. This is depressing, and could be triggering. We all know what it's like to not be wanted, to have voices haunting us day and night. We all know what it's like to have that feeling in your chest knowing that you'll never be good enough. We have different ways of relief. I'm trying this instead of cutting.

Nobody Was Meant to See
[Trigger Warning, please be safe when reading] They aren't supposed to know. They aren't meant to read these poems that I'm writing. I've concealed them for a reason. -Shitty poems about how I feel-

Where the bluebirds aren't (a collection of my poetry) {{COMPLETE}}
Keep it in, Don't let them win. See the light, Even in the night. There's demons - yes, we know - But we can't let it show. So keep it quiet, except for here, And know that maybe help is near. Here they'll listen without seeing, Here you can speak without being. Mostly depressing. This is my creative outlet. Everything I write is straight from my head. Please don't copy anything! Thank you so much for 2K reads! Read my second poetry book, "misty."

A Fight With Depression
(Trigger Warnings) Do not read if you are bothered by reading very real everyday senarios such as suicide, self harm, and other things that tend to mend with having most mental illnesses. This book is a different book where every chapter is a short story, poem, rant, or just the perspective of many different types of mental illnesses such as PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, And even more extreme as what causes them, Like abuse, Murder, Witnessing a Murder of a loved one. And many more scenarios that mess our human minds up to the max; most of the times leaving us broken and damaged feeling in the head.

Diary of an Insomniac [Collection of Poems]
I think the title's pretty self-explanatory. WARNING: May include graphic content, profanity, expressive depictions of negative feelings, romantic references, and, most importantly, triggering content. Where there is possibly triggering content, it's usually followed up by something symbolizing strength and making it past that- but if you don't think you can make it through it, please feel free to skip over that poem or to message me. I'm always willing to talk, and you can probably figure I've been there and I understand.

The dark abyss that is my mind: part one
Do you know that feeling? Nothing matters, nobody cares, life has no meaning. That feeling that you want to just give up? That all you do is use up space and annoy people? That everybody is better off without you? That's me everyday. Every single day I have to restrain myself from jumping in front of a car or taking all my pills all at once. These short stories are my thoughts when I'm alone.

Shattered
Poetry helps us connect with others who feel as we do. It brings us together and reminds us we aren't alone. This is a book full of poetry I've written; I hope it reminds you how you aren't alone in whatever you're going through. Stay strong <3 ***TRIGGER WARNING***
