A lonesome soul. Watching the wayward water droplets race against the window glass. Wrapped up in a blanket of darkness and stars. Do not believe the deceiver living in your brain. Even as their words get harder to ignore. They add pressure to your chest. Midnight thoughts bleed into the sunrise. Usually the light is... Continue Reading →
Laying down on my bed, staring up. Too hard to get up and move. Feeling crushed by the loneliness. Even the quiet is too overwhelming. Paralyzed by choice. Paralyzed by the demons in my sleep. Brain overworking is causing brain fog. Can't see through it. Can't think - through it. Deep breaths and white noise.... Continue Reading →

A savage beating.Unrelenting fists collide.Leaving you fighting for a breath. Coming after you again and again.Leaving nothing but bruises.Deep scars left all over the body. Every day a struggle against life and it's every attack.Piling on top of you without hesitation.But yet you still endure. Every attack leaves you exhausted.But just like Captain America, you...

You'll get it next time.It's right around the corner.The next opportunity, the next thing.

Just keep falling for the same old tricks.Never learning.Always... Continue Reading →
Lying on my bed. Listening to the heavy raindrops hitting against the window. A usual calming sound brings anxiety. Relaxation brings only restlessness. Energy only leads to exhaustion. Too many thoughts plague my mind. Lonely thoughts keep me from reaching out. I'm fine I repeat to myself, unconvincingly. I'm fine just living in this negative... Continue Reading →
Laying in my bed. Feeling like quicksand. Sinking into the sheets. And the pillows follow. Dark thoughts and swirling stars. Monsters have moved from underneath the bed to the corners of my mind. Looking down I see a depression left in the bed. Just an impression of my former self. Header Photo Credit to... Continue Reading →
It's a hot, Summer day. The sun is shining and heat radiates off everything. On these sunny days, you're supposed to be happy. So why do I feel this way? When winter comes and the sun gets low. People's moods get low. The snowy weather makes people sad. But the sunshine is supposed to make... Continue Reading →
The Moon is out. The air is cold. The silence is all around us. It holds us still. We see our breath dance in the air. A cloud of hopes and fears and dreams. The cold is bound to our bones. We stand in silence. The world is too big. We are too small. Everything... Continue Reading →
Haunted by a restless spirit. One that drains the happiness and corrupts the thoughts. It keeps the curtains drawn and the world dark. It's a shadow that clings to it host, holding it down. It makes joy taste empty and sadness filling. It poisons the mind and keeps it weak. The spirit keeps the host... Continue Reading →
