You would never know tonight
That I almost hit myself today
Overcome with frustration and depression
I wanted to self harm as I have in the past
I felt the urge, but stopped myself
But I cried for hours today
I am walking through such befogged days
Grief for my Father
Worry for my Mother
Finances ruined by job loss and old debts
I thought how good it would be to be gone
No longer struggling with body and mind
But I pushed through
I sent another application out
And then I saw a friend had sent me a gift
To help me out at this midnight hour
And life felt a little more like living

I love stories. I love to read, watch, and create stories. Since childhood, the library has always been a sacred place to me. Writing transports my soul's hidden depths so the world can share them with me.
