Depression is a killer


On the outside, I look happy, content, and pretty.

I act nice,caring,polite and sweet. But inside I feel empty.

I’m lost and confused. 

I don’t even want anyone to know that yet I want to express myself.

It’s like having a match in a dark room that has been filled with gasoline.

You want to see to get out but you don’t want things to explode. 

I wish I could just drop out from this planet and float in space.

But avoiding the issue won’t solve the problem.

The grounds I stand upon are shaky and fragile.

I think I might just fall through the cracks and break into millions of pieces.It’s not like this will be the first time this has happened to me.

I just want to start all over. A fresh new start but that won’t help because I can’t run from myself forever.

 

I'm so hopeless yet so full of life.

I 'am an outgoing individual with a curious soul that is in love with mother nature. I have a realistic view on life and it is a passion for me to be able to share my views. As well, as ideas with other people because I believe in bettering the whole group. Instead of hoping there will be a way where an individual might solve every world problem. I'm currently going to my home-town's community college for my second year now. It's hard to wrap my mind around time and how fast it goes. Regardless of where I end up in life, I will always be determined to always imagine more beyond the concrete walls.
