Will my mind be at peace? Will the pain end soon? Will I ever get the help I desperately want But protest and refuse? Everyone’s rooting for me But it seems I’ve lost my path. What’s the point of living, When I can’t even accept my past? I boast about finding your own happiness And sealing that small crack But every step I take sends me right back. I feel as though I have no one So I cry myself to sleep. I feel unwanted by my own family, My friends probably don’t care To listen to my weeps. I feel so alone with only my tears. Maybe that’s the anxiety Or maybe it’s just facts. All I know is I’m too young to feel so sad. I’ve never been abused or harmed It’s honestly really silly. I may not come from a perfect family But it’s a family nonetheless. I’m surrounded by so much joy and life Yet it’s hard to appreciate any of it When you’re depressed.
I know basically everyone writes about depression but I needed to get this off my chest. Poetry is a way to express my thoughts so while mid breakdown instead of letting those tears go to waste, I applied them into an art form.
