Suffering with Depression
Got me feeling inadequate
Got a hand on the razor blade trying to
Stop my demons from dragging it
Feel the pressure that’s building
Can’t see when my light is dimming
Can’t get a grip on myself as im losing hope help im slipping
Was I really to be blamed,
If so I’m ashamed
I’m the reason you’re suffering
Yet you’ve left me so drained.
Am I actually innocent
Or is these voices the truth
I can’t seem to escape them
When they’re stuck on a loop
Never understood the shit
That I’ve been put through
Time to trigger that PTSD
Without having a clue

Sunsetting Pride 2024
Happy Pride! As Pride Month 2024 begins to sunset, I want to congratulate every individual who has become brave enough to take control of their life and live as their authentic, beautiful self. This is a month when it highlights those accomplishments. From acceptance within families and friends to acknowledgement in the political arena. Starting with Stonewall (and events prior) leading to the Supreme court ruling for same-sex marriages. We are here, we are queer, and we should never live in fear.
