Brandon Short Poem
Thoughts keep me awake at night,
Can't breathe 'cause my chest feels tight.
I keep hearing "you'll be alright,"
But that doesn't stop the thoughts at night.
Happiness just doesn't seem right,
Always feeling fight or flight.
I can't stop these thoughts at night,
Haunting me till the morning light.
Hoping for a future that looks bright,
How do I stop these thoughts at night?

Brandon Short Poem
This life's trying to kill me,
Grind me down,
Beating me slowly.
Looking at pictures of the old me,
I see my face but I don't really know me.
Who is this person I've become?
At what point did it go so wrong?
Did I make it in time, or did I leave it too long?
Trying to hold on, trying to be strong.
I need sunshine to escape these winter blues,
Searching deep inside looking for some clues.
If I could pick my own path, which one would I choose?
If it made you feel good, how long until you started to abuse?
That wonderful feeling that takes the pain away,
But it's only temporary; that pain's here to stay.
Trying different coping mechanisms,
But still, my mind keeps me awake at the end of the day.
Looking at blue skies, but all I see is grey.
I don't know if I can take much more,
Will I smile when I get to death's door?
Is this my last ride,
Or will I be reincarnated like before?
The cracks showing come straight from the core."
