I am aware that this could be quite a controversial upload, yet I feel as this MAY connect to some of you guys, it would be worth uploading. This was just a late night write of mine when I was going through a stage of depression in my life. Feedback, as always, will be appreciated. Please be kind.
The flower in my graveyard
Blooming like the wounds on my delicate soul
Wilting like your love for what once was your sunshine
The colour in my kaleidoscope
Dancing in the darkness of my thoughts
Shifting like your patience for your desire of something new
The waves in my ocean
Lapping in the strength to go on in this brutally beautiful world
Taking with you the pain in exchange for the fear of solitude
Don't let the river of cortisol flow
Don't let me
Don't let me go
Before the rope's too tight
Before the pills kick in
Before the water covers every inch of my scarred up skin
But nature is a process you said
And it was all too late.

Hi Hannah,
On Cosmo, we have "freedom of speech". You need not to preface such beautiful, heartfelt words with an apology. Your poetry is deep and thought provocative. Please give us more. Welcome to Cosmo. Your presence is greatly appreciated.
Peace and Love,
xox Larry
Thankyou so much Larry. The preface was an act of my consciousness as I did not want to be the beginning of any conflict. Your words are so kind and helpful. Peace x
Hannah...this is a beautiful piece of work. Honest and without any sense of false bravado. As somebody who suffers from vicious bouts of depression, I can honestly tell you that every word you wrote here made complete and utter sense to me on a painfully intrinsic level. Always allow yourself to experience these emotions, regardless of how controversial you feel they may be, because these emotions are what allow for the birth of some of the most mind-blowingly beautiful work, like this one of yours, for example. And furthermore, writing is the outlet for people like us that allows these blackened mindsets to leave us, even if only for a while. You are a greatly talented writer, and I look forward to more of this artistry from you. :)
I take your words as weekly motivation Jaime! I am honestly so so so pleased to hear my work can truly connect with such amazing and creative souls. Thankyou. I wish the demons that reside within may leave you peaceful someday. You are honest and kind and well deserving. Thankyou, again. Peace x
