The last day of darkness



Depression, stress, and anxiety are killing me.
It is gross.
I heard a voice screaming in my head that SUICIDE was the answer to all of my problems.
It's stock in my head,
My mind always reminds it
It tore me apart and it sucked.

But when I am with you,
I feel new.
I feel revitalized.
I always laugh. Did I laugh?
Am I laughing?
Is this a joke?

Asking myself in front of the mirror
How bright I am when I am with you.
How happy I am to live this brighter life.
Down, down, down into the brighter future.
Gently it goes. It rises early.
My laugh blooms perfectly.
