1/6/23
I feel depressed
so terribly sad
I don\'t even know what it\'s like
to be without this cloud of melancholy
I feel anxious
feel it in my bones
urging me to approach every day with dread
I feel hurt, I feel damaged
and I feel like I want to damage myself
so maybe I can feel a different kind of pain
not one that doesn\'t go away
one that makes me feel hopeless, and worthless, and helpless
I don\'t know what to do
but all I know is that I AM NOT OKAY.
2/22/23
Sometimes mornings are hard
the urge to cuddle in my blankets
and sleep the day away
holds me captive in my bed
but when I plant my feet on the ground
I don\'t feel dread
I feel hope
Instead of a cloud of melancholy
I feel the sun on my face
urging me to approach the day with optimism
Instead of wanting to hurt myself
I want to help myself
I don\'t have all the answers
But all I know is that I AM GETTING BETTER EVERYDAY.
