Wow!!! i'm speechless...this reminds me of my past since i was like this girl in the poem...but the trick to unlocking yourself from that place is to realize your faults and prove you are worthy and light your heart up...anyways like i said i am speechless with this poem it has so much emotions the flow was okay but the story captivated me soo much!! 5/5

This made me cry. It's clearly a metaphor about depression, and so many people can relate to it. You didn't put yourself here. It came to you first. Depression always will.

I try so hard, but the walls are so high.
My muscles get tired, and I have no will to get out.
I stay buried there because it is safe.
It's my hell, but it is safe.

^This makes my heart break. It's so completely truthful, and explains exactly what clawing your way free of depression is like, if you even want to. With depression, it IS a safe place. You know what to expect, and at this time, it's the only stability you really feel you have, which is very evident in this piece. And in hindsight, it's absolute hell. You can't get out, or you feel like you can't. It's your own inside world that only you and a select few understand.

My island of darkness where no one can abuse me but myself

^That is a totally chilling line. This poem is super vivid, and it gives me chills reading it.

Great write, love.

I... Wow... Incredibly vivid and quite a good read. I loved it because I can relate, I was like this for a while. It's hard to find your way out and sometimes you don't want to, but it'll be worth it in the end if you keep trying.
