This is one of my favorite shorter #poems from my book "Grey Matters." When I write about mental illness, I like to focus on things that are difficult to put into words. For this poem, it’s the feeling of numbness. ⁣

Have you ever felt this way?
a #poem about loving someone you can’t be with
a #poem about the importance of acknowledging how far you’ve come
a #poem about the feelings of guilt that can come with depression
a #poem for anyone who struggles with setting boundaries
a #poem about allowing yourself to take up space
If you’ve outgrown your old self, this #poem is for you β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ήβ£
