Rooftop Contemplations

"Will anyone miss me when I'm gone?" "Will it hurt?" "All I feel is numb..." "Life will go on without me." "Will everything I've done have an impact?" "Is it worth it?" "I was never worth anything anyway." "It's for the best." "Everything hurts, but there's nothing at the same time..." "My heart is heavy, but my head feels empty." "Everything is oddly light and quiet; I don't understand." "My mind won't shut up!" "I just want to feel something!" "Why am I even here?" "Everyone is better off without me..." "I just want it all to stop..."

Depression and anxiety are like a festering monster. It plants ideas, fears, and insecurities. It feasts on the person like a parasite. That inner demon is not you. It makes you feel alone. Tries to tear you from the inside out, until you're too tired to fight it off. It ruins lives, and families. But it is not you. You are worth the fight. You are worth fighting for. Don't let it beat you.
