What is depression?

Armywife010908 August 22nd, 2019

Poem I wrote about depression.

What is depression!??!

Depression is more then just feeling sad!! Depression is more

then just feeling a little bit bad!!

Depression is, not

wanting to get out of bed!!

Depression is, not being

able to escape all the thoughts in your head!!

Depression is feeling

overwhelmed, hopeless and alone!!

Depression is feeling worthless, cause you can barely make

it through the day on your own!!

Depression is barely

getting sleep, barely being able to eat!

Its this helpless feeling of defeat!!

Depression is a deep dark hole!!

Depression is something you cant control!

Every time you think its gone!!

Every time you think

you can finally move on!!

It finds its way back

and proves you wrong!

Your just so tired of feeling this way!!

Your tired of fighting

this depression every day!!

But it seems like this

depression is a never ending war!!

So you start to feel like

you just dont want to live any more!!!

Your just so tired of feeling

stuck in this endless cycle!!

Your just so tired and

your starting to feel suicidal!!

This is when you finally

realize you need someone to help you!!

this is when you finally realize

you need help or you make it through!!!

So,to answer your question!!

This my friend is depression!!

I really liked your poem it was very beautiful.

My depression is like a black lake,

it's when you swim t'ill your whole body aches,

I try not to go too far,

yet I can't help it,

the water pulls me in,

t'ill I stop,

I then realize I've gone too far,

my mouth is ajar,

as I try to get back to the surface,

my hair is all over my face,

my toes don't reach the bottom anymore,

I can't take the suffering anymore,

the feelings and emotions come by,

as I sink by,

my body is now fully sumberged inside the lake,

the water has taken over t'ill is makes home,

there's no escape,

I don't feel anything anymore,

my tears are now one with the lake,

my whole body aches,

I am no longer awake,

yet my heart still pounds,

I can't be found,

but I hope to escape one day,

t'ill that day comes I stay here and feel the warmth of the water all over me.

This was a long one but I tried my best to rhyme it.

Take care now heart
