Survivor
It’s hard to word On an empty page When I’m fearful Of saying it out loud
It’s hard to speak About the rush Of emotions That circulate Over a span Of just a second
It’s hard for me To describe it But for the sake of awareness I’ll try my best
Depression, Is when your body Is a prisoner to a mind That is malfunctioning
Depression, Is when you sleep Clinging on to the very hope Of ceasing to exist
Anxiety, Is depression’s best friend More often than not It’s a “Buy one get one free”
Anxiety, Is experiencing A heart attack And loving it! Because pain Is all that feels real anymore
Anxiety and depression, Is when you text a friend And can’t get past “What’s up?”
Anxiety and depression, Is when It’s an obligation to say “I’m fine” Simply because The world is not ready To see someone “strong” Break into a million pieces That still doesn’t feel Like enough damage
Anxiety and depression, Is what people call “crazy” Or worse “A phase”
I stand here today Body and mind Maybe not whole But still fighting
I simply exist now To tell you That someone “strong” Can break That someone Who befriended the darkness Is a survivor
Some days I find myself Isolated Scared Empty But for most of it
I came, I drowned, I survived
