Please note that I am well versed with depression, both professionally and personally.

I do not discount the reality of mental illness. Maybe I am just asking for agency.

Peace to you all

 

 

Raging Red nailed by reason to controlled anger Shaded disappointment lies deceit corroding grey White like the bathroom cleaner You swallowed The smell of empty boundaries transgressed Rusty razorblades oozing blood and manipulation Distasteful taste of rotting matter mottled flesh Colouring outside a medley of confused emotions A striking demonstrative match incinerating Abusing trust respect compassion care and shooting Salvos like a paint ball onto pained grave canvas Surely a polychromatic cry for helping with the ‘What’ the ‘Self’ the self-destructive saturation But mind you this is a chance now one opportunity To link from dot to dot your bleeding droplets Yours to own disown your brush to break or stroke 31st 2018

Of course, the severity of the condition is beyond my comprehension, and I'm sorry to hear that, but the panacea is ... more love...

Thank you for your comment. I disagree and that is the beauty of differences. Context and contingency are of course important. My experience with mental illness is that love goes a long way. Without boundaries and agency however, there is no chance in hell or heaven to get better.

Oh my. Powerful poignant ink. I'm faving this one. I've written on the subject, have been battling self harm since my teen years, have not cut in over twenty years. I feel for you (hard not to with this incredible penning), my piece is "An Ode" if you're interested. My heart goes out to your family, I wish your daughter ease of being. xomo
