Ocean Waters
The ocean looks so beautiful, so innocent. You would have never guessed what horror lied within the surface. Sunken ships, along with the many lives taken, still trapped within the sunken walls and restless waves. Each wave distracts as the stories become a thing of the past, lucky to make it in the history books. When you think of the ocean you never really realize what lies beyond what your eyes can see. The bodies that once was loved by families, sunken ships that once were made of accomplishment, that traveled through out the world, the sorrow that each person felt as they got lost in the ocean waves, forever masking what lies beyond its beautiful exterior, rarely revealing whats bellow the surface...

Stuck Between the Wooden Tracks
We fell between the wooden boards on the train tracks. We both try to get out, but were stuck and no one is around. From a distance, I hear a faint sound coming from behind us. A whistle from a train with smoke blowing from the top and I hear the whistling as it becomes gradually louder with each second. I look at her with the expression of panic plastered on her face. The train gets louder and I hear the gears in motion, propelling it forward as it comes towards us, but we can't break free. Instead, I wrap my arms around her shoulder, suddenly she stops and understands. We huddle close until we start to feel the vibrations from the train. We're calm and we let go as the train blows its horn in desperation for us to move, but it's too fast to stop. Suddenly it ends and the last I felt was a hard blow as everything turned black.

The Battle
The words just wont go away. Trapped in my own mind, slowly losing grip of the world. What I thought were my own thoughts aren't. Every step, every breath, every blink of an eye there was a battle fighting within myself. Both of us, who ever "us" is, want to win the argument. I stopped, just stopped, I couldnt take it anymore. The thoughts always won, always seemed to be cheating and the only thing is is that no one could help me. No technology, friends, family. No one could help me because it was within myself, only i could overcome it. Noises start overwhelming the thoughts. This was new, both trying to triumph, to win. Both combined is too much for me to handle. The noise was always the sound of water dripping, sometimes fast other times slow. This noise goes on day in and day out, never escaping, but always leaving an impact or impression. Even in dreams I hear the damn noise. It seems as though there's no escape, but one and I've been avoiding it for years. How did I tell all the noise and thoughts? Im not sure, but it has been eating me alive like maggots do to corpses, only I'm alive. The gnawing, the flesh eating things feel as though it's all over me. Tell me how that feels, you all are already squeamish, but imagine actually living in my shoes. My family, friends all have left me behind like you would trash or something you didnt want anymore. So alone in this massive world as it overwhelms me, smothering me with those trees i once loved to climb, those blades of grass I once was fascinated by, the mountains that once filled me with delight. Most importantly my family and friends i once relied on, cared for, told everything to. All just left me, lost hope after my diagnosis, as if all those valuable memories we shared meant nothing. We've come to a split desition, a 50/50 chance it may or may not work. I've made my choice I thought over for years and im finally ready...

How to Cope with Death
I know death is a hard subject for anyone, especially if you were in love with them. I lost someone I loved the beginning of 2017. He died just three weeks after his twenty second birthday. Things weren't going well between us. We fought about the little things, got mad over nothing and I tried my best to help, but I think at the time we both had a lot going on in our lives and we didn't know how to handle all of it. Its been incredibly hard to cope, especially when I found out. I cried for days, I wasn't eating for weeks, broke down at work, and I felt there was nothing that anyone could do for me.
