Thank you

 


You don't know it now
but your future self 
will thank you.

Stay safe




It's a curse


It's a curse
to be inspired to write words
that no one will ever read.

 


Until I could take no more




For most of my life

I have protected people

from my depression

I did everything I could

to hide my struggle.

but it doubled my burden

crushing the load

until I could take no more

and so one morning I woke up

and summoned my courage

and reached out for help.



Stay safe

A black hole drifts through my thoughts

 

A black hole drifts through my thoughts, 

randomly eclipsing memories 

leaving behind an empty space 

that’s so deep and dark

I can’t find the words.   


It’s troubling  
to draw a complete blank

when you know you should know


It’s troubling

to think

that it’s only getting worse.

You are important to me

 


You are important to me.

Even though we've never met,

I recognise your struggle,

and share in your pain and perseverance.

To have come this far, 

to have said no,

time and time again, 

even when every thought screamed for relief,

you chose life.  

You are remarkable.


You are important to me.

I think of you every day

 


I think of you every day.

and miss you all the more.

I need a friend;

someone to listen,

someone to share my life.

I need you

I'm alone.
