*Trigger warning* This is a poem I've been working on for awhile and recently I was able to finish it. It's one of my more, depressive pieces. Suffering from depression and anxiety will make you feel so hurt, and alone. Every little thing that people do will effect you in ways no one can understand. They say you're faking it, or your an attention seeker and that's not how it is. Sometimes you feel as though no one will ever truly listen to you when you're hurting until it's to late. Expressing my feelings through writing helps me fight my battle, one day I hope to win it.

I am alone

This feeling of emptiness lingers
I’m captivated by the darkness
…Living in a beautiful lie
Nothing was ever enough
I’m tired of feeling so numb
I feel relief when I am cut
I am alone
Who else hears the voice?
Its sweet reassurance of love
Telling me it will all be over soon
Do I give in?.. or do I fight?
Will no one listen?
I do not want to die inside
I am alone
This battle seems to last forever
I feel alone and cold here
Sleep has deserted me
Does anyone else feel this pain?
The more I breathe, the more I feel
I am not safe in my own mind
I am alone…
A tear from my eye descends
I feel so broken
Just another option
But there is one who will always love me
He comforts me, loves me…
As my soul departs, I feel one with him
Now I know… I wasn’t alone after all.
