The American Dream.
What is it? How do you live it?
Most would say “I want to be rich and famous!”
Or “I want to have world peace.”
My answer would be to be happy.
But that's impossible when happiness is an illusion.
A cloudy image of your desire can never bring to a conclusion.
Or so I thought.
When I was 13 I was diagnosed with depression.
I had multiple therapy sessions.
Trying to find the root of the problem.
I thought happiness was an illusion.
I thought I would live by the song Fake Happy.
Euphrosyne. The Greek goddess of Good Cheer, Joy, and Mirth.
She is always happy and uplifting.
She elevates those in need
and delivers a smile to everyone's face.
We all have one of these types of people in our lives.
From our mother to our father, a sister, or a brother,
They all look for the greatness in life
and input that into other lives as well.
But, what if they are looking for a way out?
Society is always pushing for new medicines and cures to come out
Just to fix something seemingly impossible to solve.
I’m not saying happiness is a mirage,
I’m not saying that at all.
But when 16.1 million Americans are diagnosed with MDD,
I think differently.
When about 1 million people die from suicide each year,
I think differently.
When 34.8 million children experience childhood trauma,
I
Think
Differently.
So, to the people who think you can just become happy with a click of a button.
Or create a false reality for hopeful individuals who look for a way out.
Educate yourself on mental health before you voice something that is entirely erroneous.

Mady Onativia Poem
When I was 13 I was diagnosed with depression.
I had multiple therapy sessions.
Trying to find a solution at my discretion.
I was under such operation,
Trying to tell my confessions.
I was unconsciously being repressive,
And trying not to be aggressive.
Just wanted to find it without overexpressing.
But when my life is consequently depressing,
I feel like I need to address it.
I go to therapy to feel refreshing,
But end up with more stressing.
Consequences of my own actions
I need to stop surround myself with dissatisfaction
And start finding the attraction.
I want to grow up and have a passion
But this world makes it so hard to feel a sense of compassion.
Maybe I’m the problem
And I need to find a solution.
I want to be a part of this evolution.
Be the contribution
And find the solution.
Hopefully I have the attributions
And not being excluding.
I’m just trying to find a conclusion
Before it all becomes confusing.
Let me stop here before I give the illusion
That I'm trying to be substituting
I am grateful for all that had happened
for it has made find some satisfaction
In conclusion, I just wanted to say stop all the confusion
And stop with the illusions before some takes the dissatisfactions of their own actions
And creates a distraction with different abreaction and interactions.
