Life is confusing,
Full of promises,
Yet full of lies.
It is cruel,
But it can be beautiful.
For me,
I see no beauty,
No light.
Shadows lurk,
Around every corner,
Whispering to me.
They say give it up,
You are nothing,
Cry they shout,
Cry girl cry.

I'm fine, I was going to tell you that me and Lydiaq are going to start co-writing now but yeah I'm good, I'll miss co-writing with you but I agree, don't take on more than you can handle.

Poetry is poor man's therapy, it has always done me well. I have always vaguely felt that I have mental issues, even though I've never seen a therapist, and everyone talks about how normal I am (not true!) Yes, I started having anxiety and panic and depression at nine, made worse by the fact that I never felt I could talk about it. I would never talk to a counselor even if I had one, because I feel that they would just tell it to my parents. And I have terrifying existential moments where everything seems like a lie. Sorry if I am gushing, I am have never really told this, except hinting.
