Twice
April 26, 2019
I fell twice
Not a hit the ground running sort of fall
But a fall that knocks the breath out of you
A fall that shatters all of your bones
But doesn’t kill you
No matter how much you wish it would
I fell twice
Not a get back up again fall
But a fall that keeps you
A fall that feels like you are sinking
But it isn’t quicksand
No matter how much you wish it was
I fell twice
But I am alive
And I’m not falling again

I have struggled with mental health issues throughout my life. Writing poems has been my outlet for what's going on in my head. This poem "Twice" is about the two lowest points of my depression, but I still got up and carried on. My hope is that this poem inspires other people going through the same thing to continue on and get back up again.
