Im Fine

Wish sometimes I could fade away into nothingness, just a shadow, that'll never be seen by light, just a ghost, out of life
Other times more often then not I just want to feel alive but my curiosity for the other side is grasping hold tightly 
It whispers my name like the ghosts that haunt me at night 
it sends shivers down my spine when I think of how close to death I want to get 
That’s the thing with my mind it sends me to my darkest and lowest thoughts
It’s always asking for an escape 
That’s the thing with depression it grabs ahold and never let’s go But I won’t be a victim to this silent illness 
I’ll keep fighting I won’t let it win 
No matter how many times I pray for an end to my existence 
I’ll keep a smile on my face and say “I’m fine”

I was just thinking about invisibility today, how so many poets crave it, yet we wish for the lasting impact of our words. Maybe words are all that really matter? I like your poem.

"I’ll keep fighting I won’t let it win" - Very beautifully asserting words. A lot of optimism.
