Andrea Gibson, "DEPRESSION [VERB]", Lord of the Butterflies
“I want you always to remember me. Will you remember that I existed, and that I stood next to you here like this?”
— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
"To forget, to forget ...", Vahan Teryan (translated by Tathev Simonyan)
my favorite lines from this article about poetry from students grades 3-6
Bianca Stone, from What Is Otherwise Infinite: Poems; “God Searches for God”
“One day she remembered that it wasn’t her job to make everyone happy.”
— Robin Lee
Sometimes it would be nice to step out of one's body and observe
To no longer having to feel and experience things
pain
My heart, it soars
Spending not a single day chained to the earth no longer
While my body, it rots
Beneath the daisy field
Sometimes I look at my own photos and feel like a stranger.
The color of my soul is a shade no one seems to like.
The days
I expect them, wait for them
And when they pass, I realise
They're dead days
Gone and lost,
Rotten days
And of them too many,
That have been too much
I mourn them still
●a way to let go of my thoughts because I fear they might crush me● ||they/them||
