Fairy Tales

Once upon a time
anxiety
would pass through
my ears
without a backwards glance.
No memories
of shaking
No memories
of trembling hands
and a mute tongue.

Once upon a time
depression
was just a sad word
that I could not relate
to.
That I could not understand.

I never thought
those
"don't kill yourself tonight"
signs
would be for me.

I never thought
suicide
would cross my mind.

I never thought
giving up
would feel
so great

like a wonderful
rush of
"I don't want to
deal with this anymore"
thoughts

washing over me
like the ocean
after a hurricane
knocks little children
onto their heads.
