The yard, brimming with growling trucks. Cold was still gripping relentless, holding the thick stench of diesel low

Hello depression go away
Hello depression go away, please don't bother me today. Dont hunt my heart as if it's prey, leave me be please, okay. I just want to live my day and breath my breathe, give me this stay. I just want to walk around without dismay. I just want to take a moment to be and play, maybe even just relax today.

Every Morning At 7:22, or 21 - I Have Used My "Head", And Now I Am A Millionaire - I Own A House, I Own A Car - I Have 10 Children, A Husband, A Wife - I Have A Life , Nothing Can Stop Me, I Am Powerful, I Am Unstoppable!
Every man loves a woman who gives him a hard time, the worst thing the best thing! The person who plays hard to get as if the person was a child waiting to feel a sense of wonder! I wished I knew what it felt like to have all the men wanting me! All the men saying you are the reason, I have woken up in the morning!? The only reason I live, The reason I will wake up, as if that made sense! All the men that said if I, only for a minute cared enough about myself I would not have a had a breakdown! A breakdown in society, a breakdown in the way every person assumes they are enough! Just a person who had no other choice but to have 40 breakdowns !

Feeling anything is like seeing a film and in black and white, slow motion, all sound turned off. Just watching. Gritting teeth, awkward smiles and bloody red eyes move around, scanning the others who are feeling something I don't want to feel, but I do. Escapism is all I have ever known. ~
