VI

For twenty four years, poetry has been my lifeline. Whenever depression tried to pull me under, I would write until it tired out. Those struggles would last from days to even years. How I am here, writing this now is nothing short of a goddamn miracle. Poetry has always been and still to this day how I keep myself afloat. However, this love triangle between poetry, depression and I has been waging for so long, that I'm ready to drown. I don't know what my future holds. But there is a chance that this collection of poetry will be my last. I just don't want to do this anymore. VI is not for the faint of heart. It's my sixth book and is hellbent on taking the whole world down with me.
