Being awoken from the ground
Like a rose without a sound
Beauty and grace
Make a gentle face
But where’s the feeling of happiness inside these walls
As I fade into the night and ultimately falls
Beauty and grace random as ever
Will it live on forever?
As pedals fall upon the ground
So do problems no longer profound
But do they come back
Or is it just some random attack
Like people stepping on this flower
Feeling strong and full of power
Do they know what damage they may cause
Or is it just superiority like Jaws
Harming a flower
Just to feel in power
Never leads you anywhere
Except going down there
Going beneath ground where the same flower came from
So it can bloom again from the problems beneath them
This flower never wilts
And it will never tilt
Staying the same
Wild and untamed

So why did I write this? Well, the past few days have been very rough for me. Exams are one thing but dealing with a number of other problems sucks too. These problems have actually had a much worse effect on me than me taking exams.

At the beginning of the year I was a rose that just bloomed but now I feel that there's nothing much left but a regular flower just like everyone else. It took only a semester but I already feel like a regular person instead of the original person I once was before. But then again what's new. Felt the same in high school that I do now. That random guy in the background. The only upside to all of this is the fact that I get to go home this week. Probably sort some problems out and officially be able to forget ever having problems in the first place.

So my advice to everyone dealing with depression or if you're just feeling down, find something you're good at and stick to it. Me? I write randomly so that's mine but not everyone is the same. Suffering from depression is one thing you shouldn't keep bottled up. Writing, telling someone, or even just drawing about it makes a difference. The reason I wrote this poem is to show that depression and me are literally the same person. It's always been just bottled up depression but the Odyssey helped me release that by writing about anything. Good Luck Everyone.
