Reality
Is this a dream I'm in, is it summertime or winter what season am I in?
My days feel like I been running forever but never making it to a destination
my back against the wall wanting to fall,
weak and confused, feeling used and abused,
so I isolated myself from my family and friends
overthinking, and thinking over and over again
my thoughts are dark never shining light, everyday it’s a fight
yeah, this is stressful
thoughts of suicide crossed my mind more than once,
why be alive when I feel as though my spirit died,
loss of self-identity I don't know myself,
loneliness, thoughts of death, lack of social support but wait
Before I forget, depression played a part of how I was feeling
overwhelmed, self-blaming.
I wanted to be alone home in the dark so I could think about every thought, I had,
am I always a bother to others
I never win anything, when I walk down the street do people laugh at me?
when people around, are they mad? I immediately think it’s because of me.
I just want to be free, feel good about me,
smile and be happy, really mean it
with my back up against the wall, nowhere to run to,
I spoke to GOD and asked him, “what should I do”?
He told me read the word more, and that's what I did
my days became brighter, my thoughts became clear,
I wasn't thinking suicide any longer.
I was thinking being alive is worth it,
God is going to help me through, I was done feeling blue.
I put full faith in the lord, he came in and restored my confidence,
No longer was I in this dream without destination.

A poem descending into darkness, then light.
Inspiring writing.
