Depression and anxiety is always saying I’m sorry even when you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s misplaced anger and irritability. It’s lack of confidence and self esteem. It’s like you’re always lost. You feel numb. You feel nothing. You feel EVERYTHING. It’s not being able to focus and concentrate. It’s EXACTLY like thinking through mud. . Depression and anxiety is NOT your fault. It’s okay if you go to therapy. It’s okay if you take meds. It’s okay if you’re having a hard time functioning today. It’s okay if some people don’t understand. You are worthy. You are strong. And you are LOVED. 🖤 . #mentalhealthawareness and a big old #totalreposttuesday because this hits home hard right now. I’m struggling. With everything. I haven’t been able to create anything new. I’ve never felt more alone or lonely. I’m unable to feel joy or happiness in even the littlest of things. I’m not fine, but I will be. . . #magneticpoetry #blackoutpoetry #foundpoetry #erasurepoetry #makeblackoutpoetry #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofig #micropoetry #visualpoetry #poetryisnotdead #spilledink #words #art #makeart #depression #artistherapy #mindfulness #healing #wellness #life #love #inspiration #youngstown #ohio #fadeintoablackout —————————————- Link in bio for book, shop and more!

Took some time today to actually play around with some more collage ideas. This is what I came up with so far. Life’s too short to be so serious all the time. I’m a kid at heart anyway. I was also wearing my “Adult-ish” T-shirt if that isn’t proof enough 😝🖤🥫 . #collageart #wip #hankandbeans . . #blackoutpoetry #foundpoetry #erasurepoetry #makeblackoutpoetry #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofig #micropoetry #visualpoetry #poetryisnotdead #spilledink #words #art #makeart #mentalhealthawareness #depression #artistherapy #mindfulness #healing #wellness #life #love #inspiration #youngstown #ohio #fadeintoablackout —————————————- Link in bio for book, shop and more!

Tagged by @i.redact.thee for my very first blackout poem. It was supposed to be in my story but it wouldn’t fit 😆 Rando-Tagging a few for the same...pass it on! 🖤 . #blackoutpoem 1 - Monstrous :::: He was still adjusting to the whole thing. Sometimes he squinted; struggling with taking up all that space. He had been as thick and dense, almost visualizing that he had swooped up and had given way. The monster had teetered but hadn't fallen. Monstrous. What an ugly word. He would have to deal with it. . . #blackoutpoetry #foundpoetry #erasurepoetry #makeblackoutpoetry #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofig #micropoetry #visualpoetry #poetryisnotdead #spilledink #words #art #makeart #mentalhealthawareness #depression #artistherapy #mindfulness #healing #wellness #life #love #inspiration #youngstown #ohio #fadeintoablackout —————————————- Link in bio for book, shop and more!
