I always told my girls that actions speak louder than words… this is the one time I wish they hadn’t listened.

4 AM

I am stuck in a dream

I don’t want to leave so I refuse to scream

I tripped and fell into a new life

Screaming cause someone has a knife

Don’t fret, just your imagination

You’ve made a fabulous creation

The grass grows long so you lay

Wishing you would fade away

You don’t want to weep

So you wish and pray

That you won’t wake up the next day

I am stuck in a dream

ALEXANDER

JCW

2/20/16

FOR HER BEST FRIEND…SHE QUOTES, “I MISS YOU!”

 

His days were as low

as the bottom of the sea

Depressed, that’s that.

 

His words were unemotional,

unexpressive, unhappy

Not in his right mind.

 

His smile was weak,

skin pale like snow,

shaggy hair fallen in his face.

 

Couldn’t get out of bed,

not even to shower,

not even to eat.

 

That’s when I realized,

it wasn’t just a bad day he had-

it was never ending.

 

I guess I could say his days caught up to him,

cause now I’m reading the note he left me

saying “goodbye.”

Rest in Peace

Alexander

Depression is Deceiving…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

ALWAYS IN MEMORY OF JEWELS

It’s a smile

A kind word
A caring gesture
An unspoken compliment

A deceiver
Depression is silent.

I Said I Did

11/26/2016

you said you were fine,
When I asked if you were okay.
I didn’t believe you,
but I said I did.

You said you were cold,
When I asked why you always wore jackets.
I didn’t believe you,
but I said I did.

You said you were sick,
When I asked why you went to a hospital.
I didn’t believe you,
but I said I did.

You said you cared,
When I asked if you did.
I didn’t believe you,
but I said I did.

Now you’re gone,
Dead for good.
I knew I shouldn’t have believed you.
I SHOULDN’T OF SAID I DID.

INSIDE THE MIND OF A 14-YEAR OLD – DEPRESSION KILLS

arcata-ca-july-2016-073

JCW 11/26/2016

DAYDREAMS

I like to imagine a different world,
one where I can smile

One where I won’t be curled
up in bed for a long while

This place is happy and has rainbows
filled with flowers and blue skies

Sun so bright, it glows
there are no questions or whys

And I like to think I’m happy
an environment I can’t be sad

No movies or books would be sappy
cause all I’ll be is glad.

Sadly this new world isn’t real
I am stuck behind a wall, unable to heal

The Coffin

img_6100

Oh how life hurts and death falls
Life is too fast

She now wears deaths shawl

And an old man in a somber cast

She passed with relief
Because the old man knew she wouldn’t last

Her life crumpled like a dead leaf
Oh how life goes so fast

Said the old man in disbelief…

The coffin was as silent as its past

The man was in grief
He was in a somber cast

THE SENTIMENTAL SUNSET

I fear I will never love again.

Either you love him and he doesn’t love you
or
he loves you and you don’t love him.

RAINBOW FALLS – MAMMOTH LAKE CALIFORNIA

october-2016-241

To live life, is to live in the present.

The past remains in our memories,

The future strives in our dreams,

But the present is our existence.

My Tears Fall…

SISTERS 07.2015

When you trip,
my tears fall.

When you hurt,
my tears fall.

When you cry,
my tears fall.

When you scream out for help,
my tears fall.

When you want to end it all,
my tears fall.

When you don’t understand,
my tears fall.

When you reach out to me,
I shed no more tears and hold you close to my heart.

“childhood games”

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

6/1/16

rock, paper, scissors, shoot!

rock:
weigh your life down
a sad dark stone, crushing

paper:
to drain your thoughts on
making you empty

scissors:
sharp, dangerous
cut your life non-existent

shoot:
the bullet goes through my heart
what I say when I wake up alive

-jcw “childhood games”
