The Mountains

The smoke trickles into the air from the chimney
Inside the cabin is the smell of meat roasting and being marinated
The smell is the only comforting thing as I wait to eat
I dig my hands in my pocket
My fingers are freezing
I curl my knuckles 
The eerie white snow is falling off the mountains that hum
Where the Indians once saw spirits of animals 
The bear, the eagle, the fox, the buffalo...
Each animal was given thanks to for the meal and were respected for their spirits
As day fades to night, the sunset makes it's last peak over the horizon before settling inside the valley
The darkness sings from far beyond
An owl hoots a warning: "Get home. The predators are out."
The cold echoes the sounds of space
Stars dangle in the sky that is eerily quiet
The moon shines from overhead
The planet hangs in space
While I feel from the inside
I am on a great spaceship
Heading to a journey unknown
By some amazing calculation
Generation after generation has succeeded on this planet
I feel it in the darkness of my room
Behind the fades blinds
I know I am not alone

The Day You Set Me Free

It was the afternoon of the day I died. The church was holding an after school service for the students of local high schoolers because they knew that high schoolers no longer get up at eight in the morning on a Sunday to attend a church service. My parents wanted me to make friends so I attended.  I went into the building and was surrounded by a mass of teenagers talking and chatting while leaning up against the walls. Everyone had a friend but as I looked around for someone to talk to, I found more and more people staring at me. So I made a beeline to the bathroom. The people in the hall eventually cleared and followed the adults into the auditorium. "Should I go? Should I not go?" I asked myself this. The halls were beginning to become more empty. I stayed in the bathroom. The band began to play and I cried to myself. After two hours, the service had ended. A few girls had gone into the bathroom at the time noticing a girl sitting by herself on the toiled but they

Psychology

Psychology has a lot of flaws and mostly it is shit when you study it for too long. I don't want to go into all the long, extraneous details (so this may sound unfactual but you the reader need to trust me as a credible voice from my own perspectives, research and experience saving you time in going through every piece of boring research from the other side that is a bunch of bullshit) but until you are locked in a mental institution and forced on psychiatric drugs and are told there is no future awaiting you as you feel impending guilt you did something wrong - you won't realize how redundant and fabricatory the stuff is. Sure we can be depressed from time to time but that doesn't mean we have a chemical imbalance. A "chemical imabalance" doesn't even exist. There is no science to prove it. Psychology is only a field meant to help you discover ways of solving your problems. It should never be viewed as "one-size-fits-all" or that a pill can fix all
