This is one of my favorite poems I've written. It describes the contradictory feeling of being both hopeless and trying to be hopeful simultaneously. I wrote it about depression, with which I struggle severely. I use writing poetry as an outlet for my emotions, and it helps me a lot. This poem is linked above, as are the others listed below.
I have synesthesia, which means I associate colors with certain people, places, days of the week, among other things. I wrote this poem about the colors I see when I think about various mental health issues I have.
I have felt extreme guilt, shame, and pity surrounding my mental health and negative coping skills I have used in the past. I pity my past self, rather than empathize with her because I am ashamed. I wrote about this and the details of how it feels to pity myself, and the reasoning behind that emotion for me. This poem speaks about that.
