Ok, so I'm new here, obviously, and I still put my two cents in...sorry I get ahead of myself...however...I am also a writer and a while back there was the question of what surprised you the most about depression...and I wasn't surprised to see that others like me found it soo difficult to make those who'd never experienced a mental illness understand what its like...so, pen in hand, a rough draft that I hope to get some critiques on (and hope it fits and no one minds me posting it)

This is just slightly triggering...Better go to my workout before i get all undone again...Thanks for posting it it is nice to knw there are others who understand!


Its seeing someone you deserve,
and letting them walk away
because
you don't want to make the hurt
that much more,
by letting someone in,
someone, who will leave.

Thanks soo much for sharing that.


I am a poet myself and I know the feelings that bring you to write a poem and the feelings of release after you do.


Glad to have you here!
