the last poem i write about my depression
i want you to know that it took me years
to figure out the worst part. cause, sure, there’s
so many bad parts, there’s so many moments
when dragging air through your mouth feels
like letting in all the water. your body becomes
your own battlefield, your mind—the most
ruthless enemy. it does not cut corners.
it will not spare you. it will leave
no summer-tinted memory untouched.
every exit sign looks like a suggestion.
if you ask someone if they are happy they will say yes
but they will not look you in the eyes.
you will never learn how to feel permanent.
you will drink grape juice and try to remember how it felt
to be holy.

When you lose a best friend
When we said friends forever and
crossed pinkies like grade-schoolers,
I could only believe those words
lodged in your heart
like they did mine
because every time I think back
I can't help but remember the
late-night conversations
under star lit constellations,
and study sessions where we
learned more about each other
than we did Biology
but now it's clear
that each beat of your heart
has made those words fade,
and you could care less
about crossed pinkies
but I'll still see you,
and hear your voice
whispering
forever,
and I'll still wish
the meaning hadn't changed-
like you.

Do you realize how much I love you?
Do you know how lost I would be without you?
Even if it seems at times....
That I am distant...
Cold...
That I don't care...
Thats not the truth...
Because the truth is...
You are the one and only,
person, place or thing,
that matters to me...
in the whole wide world.
and if anything ever happend to you
I don't think that I could go on without you
So please mom...
Never foget that I love you
Hey Dad, You're my hero
Did you know?
You're my secure foundation,
my source of unconditional love and inspiration.
Hey Dad, You're my role model
Did you know?
Brave, determined and fearless,
someday I'll be just like you.
Hey Dad, You're my northern star
Did you know?
Through daylight and darkness you've been there,
always guiding me towards the right way.
Hey Dad, You're my knight in shining armor
Did you know?
You make me feel protected,
I'm sheltered by your unrelenting care.
Hey Dad, I'm your number one fan
Did you know?
No matter what obstacles you go through,
your chin is always up and your eyes set at the future ahe

Curing Depression in Seven Easy Steps
1. apologize profusely to
the ones you were honest with,
the ones who believe in you,
the ones who never cared,
the boy who thought you were
worth it, the girl who stayed up
all night to hear you breakdown,
the doctors, the nurses, the stars,
your scars, your little brother
who told you he hoped your sad
would go away, yourself
2. fall in love with someone
who doesn’t understand you.
write poems about his eyes being
a lighthouse, and his hands
being sirens. tell him he is
your happiness, he makes you
better. tell him his scars are
beautiful, he is so breathtakingly
beautiful that it’s reasonable
you should cry; love him

Death knocked on the door
came inside without invitation
poured herself some tea
and asked for a story.
He laughed at all the right parts,
cried when I cried,
asked for more than she received
silently demanding.
It cried with me and laughed with me
sipping their tea and listening
she wondered what I didn’t do
then told me how idiotic I was.
He told me about the children
I could have had but didn’t
and the falls that lifted me up
with the loss of others.
The story of how I almost killed a girl
when she ran into the street
scared her to run into the arms of her father
and never ran into the street again.
The tale of the man who

I have a box that sits under my bed,
Old and worn it holds many things that have been left unsaid.
Memories of my years;
Pictures, train tickets, snippets --
Are all locked inside this case, ready for me to smile
As the memories come falling into place.
'I don't suppose I have grown-
Up all that much', I think to myself, 'Times never change'.
I read of letters from friends,
Love and hate blends-
So I lock up that chest again.
I track back in my instead,
To a day in which I was happy,
With open arms and love's embrace
I dive right in- pulling out from all rest,
A time to play back for always.
'I don't suppose I have grown-
