Depression: Such a cruel cruel thing. 

Shadows: Just a seemingly dark casting caused by light blockage... or are they? Some see them as the gates to a world far beyond human understanding. A world of torture, chaos, and turmoil.

Suicide: Most would say, a cowardly way of getting out of hard times. Others would say, an escape from the world that they have no control of, an escape from themselves and their minds.

Depression through the eyes of someone who knows a good bit about it, and the only way you'll fully understand someone who has it. 



(P.S This is just something created at 2:34 am from a tired person who cannot fall asleep and has been reading her Abnormal Psychology textbooks for an hour to be prepared for the next assignment. Very vivid and very detailed. I SUGGEST YOU ACTUALLY READ IT AND DO NOT SKIP. IT MAY CHANGE YOUR VIEWPOINT ON SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE! I recommend reading it while listening to the song in the sidebar. It gives the full experience of the poem.)

Warning: this book's focus is drawn to a character who hints themes of depression and self-harm. The idea of the story is to present the experience of learning to understand and comfort someone through these struggles. So while these themes are contained within a comical styled story, they are still present so please be mindful of that before you read on. You. You're just a normal girl. A normal girl with a normal life... until you meet the boy with blue hair... Name: unknown Age: unknown Human? Unknown How can someone live a life without anyone knowing of their existence? You don't know. But you want too. Determination fills you with a desire to seek more about this boy. There's just something about him that makes you want to know more. He meets your eye. Is a name really too much to ask? He refuses to give you one. If you keep investigating, you'll get hurt. You'll be killed. You'll regret it. It's not a warning. It's simply the truth. You've been noticing strange things going on. He's not in any records. A shotgun fire?! He has wounds that heal all too quickly. How can a boy get shot and heal by the very next day? You want to know, don't you? Then simply allow your mind to go wondering into this book and discover the secrets behind the boy who no one knows. (This book is a representation of my experiences with dating someone with depression in high school. I wrote it while we were dating, subconsciously writing him into the character Infinity. I will say that I intend to rewrite this at some point to send a better message, as I feel some of the actions in this book are unhealthy reactions to depression, that I have a much better perspective of now) [I'm also working on a VN based on this story.... If my studies would stop getting in the way]

Broken Into Darkness

32 parts Complete Mature

Darkness, how do you describe it? It is a feeling where you are so far gone, a numb feeling that turns into nothing. All the light you once had is now filled with blackness. You are trying to reach the surface but you can not seem to get up there. You're just sinking down. When you are stuck between the light and the darkness. When death comes for the person you love the most, it takes your breath away, leaving you gasping for air. You realize that the person you loved the most was the light, who kept the darkness at bay, never letting it come back to the surface. Once that is taken away from you, you feel as if the light will never return. You feel like there is no purpose to your life anymore. Without the light there is not a purpose to live life. Looking at everyone, everything you start to realize that there is no point so why live? When the person you loved is ripped away from you, no explanation why. Why her? Why take away my light? So you just allow the darkness to consume you, where you are done with it all and shut off any emotions to feel nothing.
