Fighting Against Depression
I find myself Falling backwards into A black ocean Freezing Icy Cold An abyss that swallows me whole And I let it I do not try to swim upwards

I Write Again
I am no good at speaking So forgive me, that I write My lips fail me too often On what I would like to bring to light When I write it is with fervor

Positivity: The Sword and Shield
When I was 15, I had hit rock bottom. I was plagued by chronic depression. Because of this, I was also suffering from an eating disorder, self harm, and suicidal thoughts all at the same time. The negativity which loomed over me threatened to swallow me whole. The war which took place in my unstable mind, of which I had so carefully fortified and constructed, broke me down further and further each day. I was defenseless. I had no means of defending myself, and so I often succumbed to it, allowing myself to continue losing the war. Every day was a battle, full of bloodshed. I lost every one. To me, there seemed to be no possible way to win.
