Melancholy Dreams Quotes

“I've never
smiled so hard
in my life,
until the day
I found
myself again.

I'm
at
peace.
The
peace
I
never
knew
I
already
had.

It took
a lot of strength.
Strength
I underestimated
having.”
― Cristina Isabel, Melancholy Dreams: Surviving the Battle of Depression - Poems

“It's easier now.
There's a sense of relief.
And while I still suffer from my demons,
I am not overcome by them.
I am not chained by them.
I just know how to deal with them.

And that is the greatest satisfaction.”
― Cristina Isabel, Melancholy Dreams: Surviving the Battle of Depression - Poems

“What if I can't get out?
I want to.
I'm just so tired
of being picked apart
and scattered like
ashes.

I see now
that my
demons
are
scavengers.

But the darkness
is an old
friend I can't say no to.”
― Cristina Isabel, Melancholy Dreams: Surviving the Battle of Depression - Poems

“I've often taken my hands and turned them into fists.
Punching myself in the head.
Trying to make sense of myself.
I'm left with anger.
A wet face
and a migraine.”
― Cristina Isabel, Melancholy Dreams: Surviving the Battle of Depression - Poems

“Across the face, mouth, etc...
A cold, familiar dose of reality.
I hate being a kid.

Everything I do is wrong.
I hate myself.
I hate this life.
I hate everything.”
― Cristina Isabel, Melancholy Dreams: Surviving the Battle of Depression - Poems
