Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
~Aristotle~


Too broken to sleep

so we stay awake

laying our heads on tear stained 

pillows

Too broken at school

so we turn on our music

blocking out the world once more

Too broken to ask for help

so we lock our hearts up for the final time

throwing the key deep into our hell

Too broken to try anymore

so we let our

blood turn into alcohol


The author's comments:

This was inspired by our society today. How teens have become so subject to depression. I think that at least once in all our lives, we have struggled with depression being either self inflicted or something in our past.
