“Be strong and of good courage! Do not be afraid nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go!” -Joshua 1:9


I have caused you to believe that you are worthless and nothing but a failure, 

I have told you that you will never be good enough, 

Because of me you lock yourself in your room, 

And cry yourself to sleep, 

I make you feel shame and anxiety, 

I know who you are and who you wanna be, 

I make you bleed and hide yourself from humanity, 

I see all your flaws and insecurities,  

I am the shattered glass that cuts you deep as the sea, 

And I will not stop making feel inferior, 

Until my edges have made you collapse...

I wrote this poem when I was 16 because I wanted to let teens know that depression can be cured and that we are never alone.
