Aurora Andersch Poems

I may be alive
But that doesn't mean I'm living
My Heart beats strong in my chest
But my soul is slowly dying
...

As life changes in an instant
It's hard to see the changes
It was so fast with so much to remember
It was hard to breath and hard to see
...

What you need or what you want
A question you must ask
As the compass spins to guide you on the path
It will show you your deepest desires
...

Take a deep breath
Remember those times when things seemed right
Try and see the light
You were alone
...

With the hurts and breaks
We become who we are
Without these pains we would be complete different
A complete mirror and a shattered one
...

Depression is the demon
That affects many different people
It has no prime choice
It saps the strength from it host
...
