Growing Up Depressed

This collection of poetry depicts the feelings attached to the circumstances of depression, anxiety, addiction, and other mental health issues. Mackenzie wanted to reach both people who have gone through similar issues and who are familiar with these demons, as well as enlighten those who have been fortunate enough to never have experienced these feelings firsthand.
