You are the person I gave my heart to, the one who took me off my feet & into the clouds we flew. You are the one I trusted with everything I had, but for what you to tell ever...

You lied, and I cried. You&#039;re a jerk, so I was hurt. You&#039;re a<br /> deceiver, But I was a believer. Sorry I wasted your time, I guess?

What is depression really? Is there one concrete definition, or has the meaning loosened as our generation has continued it&#039;s downhill descent? To me, depression is simply my life. I&#039;m not suicidal. I&#039;m not a cutter. I don&#039;t hate the world. I don&#039;t dress completely in black. I&#039;m just sad. I&#039;ve been sad for what feels like my entire life, but that&#039;s not true. I was happy once and I can vaguely remember what it felt like, but I can&#039;t touch it. I can&#039;t get that happiness back, I don&#039;t know how. That&#039;s what depression is to me, knowing what happiness is, but never being able to touch it, to feel it.- Jenny Leigh

who i am is not in the definition of ur beliefs<br /> i have every right to keep my head held high and regonize <br /> my beauty both mentally and physically..<br /> you dont define me<br /> you&#039;ve never been webster and you will never be god.<br /> i am a complex being and<br /> my true beauty lies in my state of mind.<br /> physically, i can be all that<br /> but i want ur eyes to see my mind,<br /> your ears to hear my thoughts<br /> and regonize my knowledge<br /> i am poetry...<br /> feel the words that slips off my lips<br /> the emotion that drips off my ink<br /> embrace the aura in every syllable that is written.<br /> Now watch me bring my emotions into your imagination.<br /> it is who i am, i am poetry.

&quot;Life is a package that you have to sign for. Yes, it&#039;s free. No, there&#039;s no guarantee as to what it holds. Open with caution, it&#039;s &#039;FRAGILE&#039;.&quot; (I made this up.)
