I wonder if this is how she felt…

Everyday is a constant struggle just to stay alive, nothing makes your happy, tired of trying to be happy, can’t imagine this dull pain inside your heart forever…with the hopelessness.

The feeling that you are all alone even though you know you have people who dearly love you.

There is help and you are not alone

I’ve decided to re-write Julian’s Voice for Jewels.

Julian’s Voice:

Ms Mandi Photo 1

Hysterically, Jewels cried when she found out the news. They said they had found over twenty different pills in her system.

The County had chalked it up as, she had simply forgotten how many pills she had really taken. In addition, they had found alcohol in her system.

This too surprised Kate.

Mona was dead.

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.

Depression is Deceiving…

ALWAYS IN MEMORY OF JEWELS

It’s a smile

A kind word
A caring gesture
An unspoken compliment

A deceiver
Depression is silent.

I’ve never suffered from depression, but I wonder if this is how she felt:

Everyday is a constant struggle just to stay alive, nothing makes your happy, tired of trying to be happy, can’t imagine this dull pain inside your heart forever…with the hopelessness.

The feeling that you are all alone even though you know you have people who dearly love you.

If this is what depression is…I can’t even image living like this everyday…

I Said I Did

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.

A WALK TO GALLOW HILL

Ms Mandi Photo 1

Abigail could not remember a time when she had felt more alone. She tried not to think about it, the betrayal, but it was a reality and it was happening to her. Her life had been perfect. She wondered how her husband was doing?

A single tear slowly slide down her flushed cheek. She hadn’t been feeling well lately, but this was expected. Her face felt flushed as she slowly brushed a strand of her hair from across her face.

The footsteps startled her from her gentle thoughts of a better time. She tried not to remember where she was, but it was hard as she heard the keys rattle in the lock. Quietly, she said a prayer as she felt the stirring inside of her belly.

THE CITY OF ALL POSSIBILITIES

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I fell in love with the city by the bay the first time I visited.
Walking up and down the streets, I felt at home.

The smells, the people, the architecture.
Simply unique.

The word eccentric?
Creativity flowing through the air, is a better description.
