Today wasn't like yesterday
Today was like today
I ran in circles of worry
sat in puddles of self doubt
I looked at you and you filled me with love
made the walls around us change to colors
you place a window above my head to show me the light
but still I sit.
with a slow poison in my veins
the one that builds after years without a place to call home
the one that builds in the darkness of my room
the one that builds in the worthlessness I show
the one thats killing me slowly
You've turned the sky from overcast to rainbows
you've shown me theres always another day
but my eyes are blind to the beauty
and my ears are deaf to your happiness

- Comment from author about the poem: Its not all hard to figure out but this poem is based around my depression. I have a lovely boyfriend who can sometimes make the world look nice and sometimes give me the hope to push on, but no matter how hard I try and how beautiful this new world is I always find myself being overtaken by the mental breakdowns and unprompted sadness that is trying to tear up the new life I have sitting at my finger tips

I relate with this, lovely poem full of feeling. Depression and anxiety sucks writing helps.
What beautiful things though, can come out of pain...your poem is proof. Pain is not to be feared. Keep writing, keep loving, keep living.
