Depression

There are two types of depression I'm going through. The peacful types, where you could lay down and die. And the painful type tearing at your soul when your lifelines disapeared.

Peacful

I'd rather sink then swim
Give up, give in,
and let my demons win,again,
My whole life,
I've tried to keep my head above water
And out of the clouds,
I'm face down on middle ground,
So I release this breathe,
From my chest
Deeper and deeper,

As I lay to rest

I pray peace may find me.

When I told my mom I had depression and she told me to get over myself. broken heart

You stripped me down, the layers fall like rain,
It's over now, just innocence and instinct still remain,
You watched me while I slowly disappeared,
I reached for you to save me; you were frozen in your fear.
Take it all away
Circling the pain inside my soul,
I reached inside your silence to steal what you won't show,
I tried to find the answers in my fears,
But what was found is lost again as soon as it appeared.
Take it all away


I'm breaking; I can't do this on my own


Can you hear me screaming out, am I all alone?

Dear snaking, I'm so sorry you're suffering , your not alone, and that poetry is lyrical. Try putting that to music. Alot of ppl will relate. I have CPTSD with depression and anxiety. I'm in therapy 3 years now ,taking meds and it is helping. It's been uphill for me all the way. Music, art and writing in a journal helps me. 7cups is good place to seek help. Best of luck. ABB
