"I want to have the freedom to fail and make mistakes on my own"


Your eyes makes an appearence.

Smoke rises up around you,

As it pours from you pondering lips.

My eyes find yours, locking and looking.

You appraoch and I close my eyes.

You are gone once I have opened them.

Where did you go?

You come and go more than I can count.

Why do you do this?

My depression rises and it gets harder to breathe.

I am on the edge of falling.

But then you reappear, helping me and calming me down.

Your lips touch my forehead and you instantly calm me down.

What is wrong with me?

I often ask this and wonder why.

Like you, these moments come and go.


The author's comments:

Poetry is not my strongest area whatsoever. Since I have major depression and anxiety, I tend to journal a lot. When I look back, I have made a free verse poem more than always. They are usually about the love of my life, whom was taken from me 9 months ago.
