This past school year I've been through
A lot of pain
Doctor’s start telling me
I was going through
This thing so called
Depression.
Depression to me is
A side effect of dying
I started feeling like
I was drowning
The pain killers
Wasn’t helping at first
But old habits die hard
Until I’ve taken
One, two, three
Four too many
Triple dosing this time
Then tomorrow
Stomach pains
Headaches
Pain killers help at first
This thing so called
Depression.
-Chelsea Sumner
This poem is based upon a closed chapter in my life. When I was suffering with PTSD. I hope this poem will inspire anyone who is dealing with depression to know that #YouCanSurvive
