There will be days
when your thoughts overflow,
teeming
like hot tea
in the kettle of your mind
and you may feel
steeped like a tea bag,
as everyone extracts
what you have to offer,
and you're s l o w l y becoming drained
but just remember
when you're put in hot water:
you have the strength to change it into something greater.

Depression is an Option
Depression is a choice, my dear,
And happiness the same
You choose this illness, don’t you?
What a tragic little game.
Depression is an option, love
Just get up out of bed
Take your tears and worries
And just smile now instead.
Depression is a choice, you see,
And so is suicide.
Just sit back, kick your feet up, dear
Enjoy this perfect ride.
Get over your own standards
Of what everyone should be.
Just smile for once, and maybe
You’ll be living perfectly.
...
But...
Depression is an illness
That we feel so deep within.
Why would anybody choose
To write poetry on their skin?
Unless there lies a reason, dear,
I would not choo

letters on leaving.
i wrote my first suicide letter in 10th grade.
they told me it didn't count if you felt like dying
unless you had it down on paper
like a vetoed birth certificate.
i've rewritten it enough times since
to realize i could never leave with a proper goodbye.
goodbye is too heavy a word for paper to hold
and i was never brave enough for the kind of courage it takes to tell them
why.
why they weren't enough to keep me here.
but i'm finally learning a different kind of bravery-
the kind it takes to

i learned to wear death
like rope burn my junior year
my senior year we became friends
but i finally stopped cutting the insides of wrist

Destablized
It's that moment of suspension
Held aloft within the air
An inch or two above reality
Ready to fall into despair
It's like an earthquake
But it never stops
The ground breaks
In a million spots
And I am frozen in space
Stuck in the time between
The frames of life's cinema
The fabled story of a dream
It shimmers and shakes
Like a heat wave
My place in space
I cannot save
I'm floating through this maze
Of moments in the grey twilight
Of the everlasting cycle
Of evil day and darkest night
Too many thoughts
Flickering by
Too many questions
To ask why
Why can I not perceive life
As a series of events connected
Only by my mind, yet separate

Edited to flow better. You may feel exhausted (I know I'm feeling mentally drained at the moment), like everyone wants something from you- it's a lot to ask. You may be draining yourself. Remember, even when you feel overworked, when you feel like your best isn't good enough, you're still making the lives of others so much better. You have the strength to change the water into something greater.

Oh, I loved this one! The finale is exquisite! The choice of words is brilliant. And as always, the message is potent and invigorating - like a delicious cup of black tea.
