These poems were written through my depression and mental illness that I'd been battling with in different stages of my life. Most of these poems tell a story of certain situations I've been through in my past as a kid and an adult. So, I write to ease my mind, to "write it off" is to "fight it off." That means each poem I've written has helped me defeat my struggles. I want to use my experiences in life to help bring awareness of Mental Health. It's okay to ask for help, you're not crazy, you're not broken, you just need a little extra love and patience. Anybody who is reading this right now please help me fix the world by being aware of people who are suffering from depression. Sometimes a simple shoulder to lean on or an ear to listen can help save so many lives. Thank you and may God bless you all.
