Depression Meets Happiness
You're okay. You're okay.
Someone once told me that they say things to convince themselves it's a reality.
You're okay.
I feel like I tried it, but I'm not really sure.
What's the word for being too damaged to do something that's so easy?
Broken?
I feel as though that word is too...sweet.
When I have crumpled to the floor because I'm crying too hard to stand. Broken is heavenly.
"But angel you have wings," my mind says.
"You can fly away from this."
No.
This isn't some illusion I have put myself in.
This isn't a choice I have made at all.
Anyone who willingly puts themselves through this when they have wings?
They're insane.
And I'm not insane...
Not in that way.
"Wait." my mind says.
"You are no angel."
"Angels are so much more than...this."
"You."
"You are from Hell."
"There cannot be anything even possibly heavenly in you."
Suddenly my mind starts disappearing like crayons in the hands of a three year old.
A voice entices me to look up.
To take that narrow minded view and toss it, because my crayons my mind thought so important are now useless stubs.
The voice tells me to look up into hopes eyes.
Hope. Saves me.
It wraps its arms around me, though still holding my gaze.
Hope. Brought happiness to meet my mind.
My mind resists and wants to cry in the corner about the lost crayons.
It missed the blacks and browns and greys that made such beautiful pictures.
But happiness wipes my minds tears and presents a new set of crayons.
Purples. Blues. Reds.
And so many shades in between.
Nothing my mind had ever seen.
And now my mind realizes it has finally found a friend.
Happiness is its view and hope is its home.
"I'm sorry." says my mind.
"I see now that you are more than Heaven or Hell."
"You are a phoenix. You now have wings larger than any angel. You are invincible. But that doesn't mean you won't burn. Trust me, you'll definitely burn, but don't worry. It only adds a fire in your eyes. And when it gets so bad you turn to ash you will rise from those ashes even better than before. So stand up. Look up."

Trying
I sit here making my fingers do a dance across my keyboard,
But something is missing.
The heart.
I yearn for the days I could sit down and type out my feelings in beautiful sonnets.
Though my mind reminds me that, that was so long ago.
I wonder why it had to leave, and suddenly I sit here crying.
Crying because something I held so dear to me is gone.
Words were my only way to understand the world and how it can be so cruel.
Words were my Rosetta Stone to understand how my heart can pump but not feel.
Then suddenly all I am is a Jukebox in a run down diner with surprisingly good pie.
I sit and wait.
Not being able to do anything unless someone tells me to.
They give me coins, which I only pass on to other people.
In return, I search inside myself and try to play their favorite song.
Yes, I'm out of date, but it seems to me that empathy is too.
And on that note when I'm broken and can't use myself to please you,
I beg of you to not hit me repeatedly or throw me in a junkyard.
Because you may be made of bones, and I of screws, but I'm trying.
And just as a pointer I've found I reply a lot better to caring than abuse and abandonment.

I've Been
It's been too long.
Though I've decided it's okay when the day comes that I leave this petite little home of mine and slowly move on from these words.
Because that means something. It means I have taken the leap from writing down what I want to actually getting it.
I will never forget all the words I have written, but I will be happy to move on when the time comes.
Where have I been?
Well...
I've been in his breaths that come and go so smoothly. They take me in and make me feel so safe and warm.
We sway through the waves and the lightning knowing that as long as we hold our gaze and see the stars sparkle in each others eyes we don't need necessities of life. (Air? Psh, not a need at all.)
I've been in her smiles. The ones I never thought I'd see again. The laughs. The memories. It's something so pure. I'm the luckiest person on earth to have found something so blissful.
I've been in tears. Hovering above all the people I care for that feel so cold when I need a fire to thaw my heart.
I've been in my music. The sweet symphonies that make me believe a god could exist, because nothing of this world could create such sunrise.
I've been lost.
I've been found.
I've been up.
I've been down.
Though mostly I've been in a haze. Wondering too much.
Don't we all?
That is why we're all here on these blogs that no one reads.
We write our souls with a pen hooked to our veins for ink. Leaking everything we can onto the page so we can see a little clearer.
We walk down the halls thinking, if only they knew.
We are the shadows trying to escape from the humans we are attached to because we want a life of our own. We don't want this body that's full of insecurity and has thoughts too loud but a voice to small.
We want to fly.
