Remembering someone I used to know.

I need to be happy.

I see pink and scarlet moons and try to forget for a minute.

I hear yellow noise that feels like like swallowing a pill.

Pills make the sadness go away,

It's never a permanent loss of melancholy, I always feel it.

It's just because I think too much,

I want to stop thinking.

Sleep.

Go to sleep and never wake up again.

My throat has closed up,

The pill is too hard to swallow.

I can't sleep.

The yellow is too loud.

The moon is too bright.

Let me forget.

I need to be happy.

I am so glad that I came across this piece of writing. It was so profound and beautiful.
I struggle with anxiety and depression and it sucks. It's something I'll have to deal with my whole life. But where my source of joy comes from is writing. It helps me understand who I am and what I go through. These words are very real feelings that are very common in todays world. You are an extremely talented writer/author and I just want to let you know that, whenever you are going through something difficult or it just seems to much, just write! It will help you and others around you.
Your writing is incredible and keep up the incredible work!
If you want to, could you read my story, "the blonde girl," you don't have to if you don't want to, I just felt like I should share it with you.

Your friend,
