Sitting down all alone,
In in the corner of the room.
The lights turned off,
In the dead of the night.
My depression kicks in,
There seems to be no escape.
Trapped in an unforgiving world,
There is no hope in hell.
The less i sleep,
The more i eat.
Eating turns into binging,
Binging turns into purging.
The more i shrink,
The bigger i look in the mirror.
Others see bones,
I see fat.
But all is not what it seems,
There is beauty in pain.
Depression means feelings,
This allows me to appreciate happiness.
As thin as i look to others,
The purer the soul inside.
The bigger i look to myself,
The more determination i have in life.
The vomiting signifies purging bad feelings,
It is the only way they will go.
But after i get a buzz,
Like a high you get from drugs.
One day it all got too much,
I severely overdosed.
I woke up a few days later,
Being told i was in a coma.
I was so very near to death,
But God's will kept me alive.
I still feel extremely depressed,
But my higher power is with me.
There is beauty all around us,
You just have to look more closely.
It maybe hidden in darkness,
But one day you will find it too.

Hannah Kerrigan Poem
If you were rich, where would you live?
A mansion? A chalet? The jungle?
If you were rich, which car would you have?
A Ferrari? A McLaren? A Lamborghini?
If you were rich, what would you do?
Go on holiday? Ride a ferris? Go on a private jet?
These are the typical answers one might say.
But if I were rich, where would I live?
I would live in a cosy house with family surrounding.
If I were rich, which car would I have?
A car big enough to fit the family and friends.
If I were rich, what would I do?
I would help others in need.
What is it to be rich?
Rich for one is money.
But rich for another is inward.
Being surrounded by poverty, yet the richest person alive.
For me to be rich, I need family and friends.
Family and friends make you happy and rich.
Being rich is when you are comfortable to be you.
Happy and contempt with life!
So being rich is not just money and luxury,
But from the inside out.
Love, family, friends,
And being filled by the holy spirit,
Amen
