Wow. This made me cry. I have depression as well and I have struggled with close friend and family relationships because of it. I have always had issues with pushing others away when I need them the most, and having anxiety as well just makes everything worse. But, I relate to your story. It has made me realize that I want to and deserve to be happy...so thank you.
A beautiful poem! I love the message that this poem is sending out. It made me feel like I was accepted in a way. I'm not mixed, but I have always distinctly been the lightest one in my entire family (including relatives) and I sometimes get insecure about it because I wonder how I am viewed in comparison to my family members when I am seen out in public with all of them. This poem shone a light on how I can view myself in a more positive light and that I'm not alone in how I'm feeling. So, thank you.
My mother passed away a few months ago, and your poem shone some light on my situation. I really felt empty for a good while and I still do, but your poem has allowed me to realize and come to terms with the fact that there are others going through what I'm going through, and that I'm not alone here. So, thank you for writing this poem.
"And I don't trust my mind. In the moment, I'm secure. I'm confident that I know what I'm doing and would, quite frankly, be offended if someone questioned me. But when I look back on any given moment, I don't trust myself to have said the right thing or done the right thing and suddenly I'm rechecking texts that I sent". This is so me!! I love this short story so much! It has a great plot and it definitely keeps you hooked. Great job! :)
