Velvet

Im made of velvet and other bad things
Unfortunately theres nothing else i bring to this bed
Id say im sorry but i say it so much
Does it really mean anything
Maybe it's all in my head, but
My mind is velvet and dead star dust
So, trust me when I say i'm nothing else
I understand why you might view me with disgust

Maybe you shouldn't touch me
I don't know if I want such things
Besides, my skin is velvet
And you hate it
I hate me too
Some days
Most days
In so many ways
I'm just velvet
So, don't touch me

I struggle with anxiety and depression and it sucks. It's something I'll have to deal with my whole life. But where my source of joy comes from is writing. It helps me understand who I am and what I go through. These words are very real feelings that are very common in todays world. You are an extremely talented writer/author and I just want to let you know that, whenever you are going through something difficult or it just seems to much, just write! It will help you and others around you.
Your writing is incredible and keep up the incredible work!
If you want to, could you read my story, "the blonde girl," you don't have to if you don't want to, I just felt like I should share it with you.

Your friend,
