"There is something eerily haunting about those who smile and dare to mean it. "

🥀🖤🥀

[quinoxpoetry]

My soul brushes gently

Against the walls of madness.

Some days the door

Hangs neatly in the balance.

Other times it lies crushed

Underneath my breath

While my body triumphs

Over its remains.

“You will have days where you feel better, and you will have days where you want to die. Both are okay. There is no magical cure. You just need to close your eyes, and trust that the waves will pass, and soon you’ll be able to breathe again.”
