A star-filled night sky with the Milky Way stretching diagonally across the image. On the right, a silhouetted person stands behind a telescope, looking upward. Overlaid text is an excerpt from Andrea Gibson’s poem “every time i ever said i want to die,” reflecting on grief, endurance, and finding truth in darkness.

A difficult life is still a life worth living.

The Weight of What’s Missing

The Weight

Everything feels slightly off,
like the world shifted half an inch
while I wasn’t looking.

Held by the Sound

Held

At first, it was unbearable,
the hush after goodbye,
a silence so sharp

After the Long Silence

After

The first thing I said when the door closed
was not a prayer, not a confession,
just a small breath,

When the Past Knocks Softly

When the Past

I used to think memory was a door
you could close
if you leaned hard enough.

The Shape That Spills Through

The Shape

I keep it in a box
small enough to hide,
heavy enough to tilt the shelf.

Behind every “I’m fine” may be a story untold. 🌑 “My Door’s Key” speaks the language of silent battles, locked emotions, and the courage to let others in. Read the full poem on Poetic Bipolar Mind. #PoeticBipolarMind #MentalHealthAwareness #PoetryForHealing #DepressionPoetry #BreakingSilence

A Slow Relearning

A Slow

Grief begins as a tight knot just under my ribs.
I keep touching the spot
like checking a pocket
where something valuable used to live.

Learning to Breathe in the Absence

Learning to Breathe

I didn’t know how to stand
after the world tilted—
how to hold a cup
