Haley Sheppard Poem
Running away
Running away
They couldn’t make her stay
Further and further into the woods
Why didn’t she stop like she should
Time went by fast
She stopped at last
She was scared
She was in the middle of no where
She realized that day
Never run away from fear

Haley Sheppard Poem
I need
I need my space
So go away
I need my light back
The one you dimmed
I need my life back
The one that never invited you in
I need my rest
The one you murdered a long time ago
With all your lies
I need my love back
The one you mistreated and took for granted
I need
I want
I am going to get back from you

Haley Sheppard Poem
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”

Haley Sheppard Poem
Flowers by her graveside because she wasn’t strong enough to stay and fight
She was always either fight or flight but when the fighting became too much and the madness added up in her head it all started to combust
Maybe she needed someone to be a friend instead all she got were dead ends
Suicide on her mind will this ever end
Demons screaming let me in
And she finally let them win
The devastating part is she left behind her legacy
Two kids that didn’t know what had happened
Maybe she was selfish for ending her life but nobody ever asked if she was alright
So when she took her life everyone wondered why because to them she looked just fine
Now only she could say what she was going through
But nobody ever let her get the chance to tell her side
Now all everyone is saying she was a selfish ass mother that ended her life that she could’ve stayed and fought
But what they don’t know was the fight was her cage
The voices in her head were her chains
She was literally locked and stuck inside her brain and it made her feel insane
When she ended it all went away
Everyone’s sitting there at her graveside now putting flowers on her coffin
Saying You’ll be missed and I’m so sorry
But if they really cared they would’ve seen that she struggled before it got so bad they would’ve reached out
She was verbally abused almost every single day but she carried all of it deep down inside
Nobody got to see the tears she cried
She was already dead
Flowers by her graveside because she was no longer strong enough to stay a fight

Haley Sheppard Poem
F is for The fights that didn’t mean a thing
U is for u and I’m over it
N is for never being good enough
N is for being fake nice to all of my friends
Y is for you because that’s all you think about
Funny because you got me misplaced by someone who cares and sadly I gave my last s wishing you were here
You know I spent every night wondering what was wrong with me turns out it’s true it’s not me it’s you
It’s funny to think it was us turns out you have a complex and I’m not here to stroke your ego
and now I’ll sit back and smile knowing the problem was never me
Yeah funny thing is all the arguments we had was me fighting for this thing to last but now I’m just silent im tired of trying
