A cold, heavy, dewy mist permeates the autumn sea-breeze air. Bells from buoys tolling tell of danger brewing, but from where?Loud foghorns blowing from ships passing close by the way. Visibility i…

I like how this came out.

One by one, every leaf fell until there were none left to see. Every branch barren, and destitute of life, upon each and every tree. The scene was silent with a cold chill in the air. Wind swept th…

I wrote a poem tonight about a very serious topic. I have struggled with suicidal thoughts most of my life. A year ago I almost lost that fight. I wrote about how I gave up one night but if I could go back and change it I would. I would have told myself how so much would change and how I would have so much less pain if I didn't make that choice that I made. I've regretted my choice so much. I have vowed to never put my loved ones through that again. There are still struggles but life is so worth living. I'm starting a new job and going back to school. Things are so much better than they were. Never give up. Reach out for help. Call 988, 911 or go to the ER. Talk to a counselor. Never stop seeking help. Reaching out isn't a weakness. It takes incredible strength. I believe in you. Believe in yourself. You can overcome.
