"Beauty is Self-Confidence applied to the face"


If I could draw a picture of sorrow and hurt, what would it be?
A beat up heart,
A broken down mind,
Maybe a soul who has lost all hope of the future?

A face whose eyes stare unseeingly at the beauty that surrounds it,
And while others receive it this face does not.

Maybe a world with a broken axel,
Might slightly do the trick;
But even then it won’t compare,
To the pain in my head.

A lone tree in a pasture,
Bending to the wind;
Could maybe give you an idea,
Of the isolation I feel.

Maybe a clock running out of time,
With the springs popping out;
And in the back ground the clock maker,
Just sits back and watches the clock break down.

There is no way for me to illustrate,
The sorrow that I feel;
No picture does it justice,
No sketch can even compare.

The only way you can see the pain I feel,
Is to glance down at my wrists;
I guess you could say that the scars that mar my body,
Is art the represents my hurt the most.

Its hard to explain to someone who doesnt suffer from depression the pain and sadness you have. This poem is based off of me and a battle in my life i have now conquered.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
