Are you Serious?

jewels-14th-birthday-2016-006

One of my wonderful bloggers sent me a great article on Teen Depression and this is a quote from the authors at Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society of Pennsylvania:

“Take seriously any comments or hints regarding suicide”

Teens don’t always want to talk to us…especially their parents, so we when they do speak out, it is very important for us to listen to them…I mean really listen!

NINE LIVES

nine-lives-jcw-02-19-2016

I just found this poem Jewels wrote, she wrote last February 2016. I think it’s probably one of the saddest of them all, but such a great insight into the mind of someone suffering from depression:

JCW
02/19/16

NINE LIVES

One:
Full of happiness
Giggles and laughter
Innocence is not lost

Two:
A new friend today
I am still young
Pure like clouds

Three:
Adolescence
Not all is happy
My smile is still big

Four:
You fill me with joy
Pure joy
I am happy

Five:
Gone, just like that.
I’m so confused-
Why am I getting so many chances?

Six:
Torn, ripped
Broken and bruised
Innocence is lost

Seven:
Happiness is gone
Let me give up
I’m so, so tired.

Eight:
Shaking, like I’m freezing
Can’t do this much longer.
Why’s life unfair?

Nine:
Damaged.
Nothing but bad memories.
I miss life one.

FINALLY, I AM DEAD.

A MONSTER UNDER MY BED

A MONSTER UNDER MY BED

11-21

Sometimes, as I sit in class, surrounded by other kids just like me, I close my eyes…letting my thoughts take me to a better a place.

A place where I can be myself and not pretend to be somebody I’m not. A place free of judgments. I like it here…I feel safe.

Suddenly, I’m startled out of my trance by the bell. My peers hurry out the door.

Slowly I drag myself out of my seat, grabbing my backpack…I think, “It’s just another day as a high school teenager.”

Untrusting

08.20.2016 - Arcata CA July 2016 025

9/28/16

push away the boy who cares
it’s what you’re best at.

paranoid thinking
that he’s not gonna stay.

when he really cares
a lot about you.

but you just can’t see
through the bad past with others.

so you decide
you’ll hurt him first.
