All my grief says the same thing - this isn't how it's supposed to be. And the world laughs, holds my hope by my throat, says: but this is how it is.

Is there another life? Shall I awake and find all this a dream? There must be, we cannot be created for this sort of suffering.
- John Keats
Joy Sullivan, from “Culpable”, Instructions for Traveling West
I cried, and the birds came down and made my song their own.
Theodore Roethke, from "Words for the Wind", The Collected Poems of Theodore Roethke [ID'd]
If it is meant for you, you won't have to beg for it. You will never have to sacrifice your dignity for your destiny.
Edgar Allan Poe
"Well, time has a way of throwing it all in your face. The past, she is haunted, the future is laced"
-Gregory Alan Isakov "Big black car"
I hope death is like being carried to your bedroom when you were a child and fell asleep on the couch during a family party. I hope you can hear the laughter from the next room.
(I wrote an entire personal essay about this a while back.)
Margaret Atwood, from Paper Boat: Selected Poems; "He Shifts from East to West,"
unresolved grief
- Andrea Dworkin, Letters from a War Zone.
can we talk about how fucking exhausting it is constantly trying to distract yourself from your own mind? not being able to have any real time to relax yourself because you’re so terrified of your own head is so mentally and physically draining and if it’s something you’re going through i’m so sorry and i love you. this is a very real and common side effect of depression/anxiety/other mental health issues and more people need to talk about it.
I’d like to add that it’s also a self feeding spiral. The exhaustion weakens your ability to cope. Which further drives you into that state until you’re so far gone that you can’t even recognize the person you are. Where you’re not sure if there’s even a you underneath it all

"If you are trying to love yourself , you already do. Where do you think the trying comes from?"
