I Will Never Be As Whole As I Was Before
I will never be more broken than I am now
Depression doesn't just come and go
It destroys and erodes
half my life is spent rebuilding the ruins left after the great fall
I will never be as whole as I once was
fluttering eyelids in the childish sunlight
Swinging so high my feet made friends with the stars
I will never be as broken as I am now
Crumbled like kinetic sand, so soft and malleable, yet, so strong
you will not break me
I refuse
You will not break me
I refuse
you will not break me
I will light a match and burn these ruins down before you hold them captive in your slimy hands again
...
I do not have the words to say how I feel most of the time, so I use metaphors
I feel like the swing just before it comes back down, some type of limbo, some type of anticipation hanging in the air, something I am always waiting for but never comes
I feel like the ground right before an earthquake, vibrato bones, anxious limbs, every atom just waiting to crumble.

am i a good dancer?
Will I always be a performer without a stage? A crooked smile, wide eyes, and anger vibrating my entire body. They say I am a good dancer but this is just my bones quaking from fear, moving my muscles, moving my flesh, do you think it's sexy? To watch me break down like this?

Makes me think of good ol' childhood days on the swing at the park - Swinging so high my feet made friends with the stars - just beautiful words!
Nice work ❤️ I’m new here hope my stories are good 😊 just like the ways you guys get to top stories
Wow! Very emotional and intense! Great work!
depression is an awful emotion to fight. Often I find myself conflicted between soaring or drowning. It's a struggle and looking on the bright side of life, isn't always easy. When I get low, I sit and read. My choice of books? Light and fun. Try the Ghosts of Culloden Moor. (there are 79 in the series) They are lighthearted (not comedy) but always help pick me up.
