Favorite Quote:
"Knowledge is power." - Sir Francis Bacon


Quiet thoughts fill my head,

I feel as though I will be mislead

Untrustful of those around me,

I feel I will never be free


Dark clouds fill my vision

I feel paralyzed, unable to make any decisions


I try to invoke the feeling of happiness

The feelings of joy through a vision

Oh, the feelings of a mother’s tenderness


A warmth blossoms within my chest

I feel almost as if I am blessed

Freedom overcomes my very being

I can finally comprehend what I am seeing


I feel as if I could fly

Fly so high and touch the sky 


I feel like a bird out of its cage, 

Like a tornado letting out its rage

I feel like a dolphin swimming through the waves

 

Loving the feeling of not being enslaved

Enslaved to fear,

every single day


I feel free

I wrote this piece to help people feel uplifted. I, myself, have not gone through depression or anxiety but I understand how big of a problem this is and many of my friends and even family are affected by this proble. Always remember that there are people to help you and we want you here!
