If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

5 poems·Since March 2016

I'm currently a Freshmen in College and am pursuing Musical Therapy as my long term goal in Life. I battled Depression through my Sophomore Year into the end of my Junior year of High School, and finally overcame it and am living my life discovering new ways to battle my Anxiety in positive ways and learning new ways to Love Myself for who I am. I have Chromo Synesthesia, meaning I associate colors to Music, Letters, and Numbers. The world around me is so Different from the way everybody else experiences it, and I never started writing Poetry until this past May, when I discovered it being a new Outlet for my Anxiety. I'm hoping if all else fails in my Life, these first hand experienced emotions and stories I tell in my poetry will impact someone's life and give them Hope for the Brighter Future they have ahead in their Life.

The Sun Will Rise Again

October 2, 2016

Logically thinking, I know everything is

Alright and there's nothing happening, yet my mind's still racing

The attack really shook me

 

I know that I need to distract myself from all the

Pain held inside, and I try, but I'm starting to break

There's no way to escape

 

I'm tired but fighting to face it in Silence

But stress just keeps rising, it's too much, I just want to Scream

But I can't, cause that's "Mean"

 

I know that I'm innocent and haven't done any wrong

But "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," I can't seem to stop

Please Help Me, Dear God

 

They tell me "Think Logic, Think Logic, Think Logic"

I see it, I know it, please stop it, I've had it, Enough!

I’m too tired to be Tough

 

I find myself running from fears in my Life,

But I know if I stop I'll be caught and just turn into stone

In the dark all Alone

 

“Please just Leave Me Alone”



 

I know all I need is to sleep and recover for

Morning and go back to Life, but I'm too scared to sleep

Almost can't even Blink

 

I’m crying and broken, can’t walk out the door

But as soon as I’m hitting the couch I look up and just Ghost

Lost all sense of Control

 

I think of my life and the battle of Focusing

Not on the bad, not the noise, not the world, Just on Me

Don’t Move, I need to Breathe

 

I fidget, I Spook, I’m so easily Jumpy

Don’t do good with people or noises or corrupted hearts

Always tell them apart

 

The minutes go by and I lose track of time

But at some point, I don’t know, but some point I start to get up

I no longer feel Stuck

 

These visions of color, music, and love wake me

Up in ways no one can explain and they fill me with Hope

Telling Death ‘We say Nope’

 

My muscles are sore and my vision is blurry but

Still I start rising up, looking up, gaze into Space

Feel the warmth on my face

 

The sigh leaves my body, my strength comes back to me

I smile in Joy and Whisper “The Sun Will Rise Again”

“The Sun Will Rise Again”


“The sun Will Rise Again”
