Am I a misanthrope?

For a few weeks now I've been feeling agitated when I'm around people. I am only at peace when I'm alone and even that peace doesn't find me often.

More and more I've been wondering whether I'm unhappy because I expect too much from other people. I expect my friends to be there for me 24/7 in case I need them. I expect people to accept me for who I am. I expect people to understand my needs and meet them.

How could you?

I don't understand

Even after all this time

How you could do this

Such a drastic step

Resurrection

I can't break
if I'm already broken

I can't sink
if I've already sunk

I can't die
if I'm already dead...

Snow

Snow

Sitting on my bed
Watching the snow
I feel awful
My thoughts are sluggish and slow

Recovery

Recovery      

How do you recover from loss?
Do you push the pain aside?
Do you work through the suffering?
Do you deal with the divide?

Goodbye

Goodbye

It's sad you know
How times have changed
How life can be so different

Losing Touch

My contacts app tells me
that we are losing touch.
Little does it know
I've already been chucked.

Depression is an iceberg

Sadness evolves
Sadness expands
It turns into a sinking ship
That hits an iceberg called depression

Purgatory

You ask me how I'm feeling
I smile and say I'm fine
But inside all I'm thinking
Is hold it together, don't whine.

Surprise!

Every time I see the name I cry
I struggle to think of it without a sigh
I've worked hard to put it out of my mind
And yet it creeps up and takes me by surprise.
