writers have a certain

passion for words

an understanding

of the human spirit

and the feelings

that revolve around them

and there are also those

who share a love for those words

and hold them with kindness

caring for other souls

and keeping their hearts open

to the world that surrounds them,

gentle spirits who still fight

for what they believe

and survive all of their struggles

a soul like that I have met myself

she is a bright star in the night sky

with a light that had to

grow faster than others

and now awaits a being

to match her kindness

I put my trust in her

and know that she will find a person

that will be her friend,

lover, and confidant

because she deserves all of those things

she is magic, wonder, and love

put together in one

amazing creation

The thoughts in my head swirl and twirl like a whirlwind pushing me further into the abyss. It gets darker by the day, no matter what any one might say. I’m tired of crying and trying but I have to keep smiling. It hurts; I’m so tired of these mental discomforts. Anxiety, depression, hate, regret. Why must my mind stay so upset.

I’m okay, I’m fine. Life is so divine!

I’ll just keep smiling. I’ll just be more entertaining.

No one can know. No, I won’t show.

I’ll smile, I’ll take it all. I’ll stand tall.

No one will see my walls fall. I won’t let anyone in. No one will see my demons within. I can’t trust anyone. No one will be close enough. They’ll run away. No one is that tough. Please just stay away. I won’t say my pains. Stop asking what’s wrong.

But instead of saying this, I’ll just say, “I’m okay”
