Every day gets a little bit darker
Every thought even starker
It takes control of me
Giving me no space to breathe
Each breath is harder to take
Each smile a little more fake
It manipulates my mind
And whispers "you're mine"
Most times I no longer have hope
Most moments I can't even cope
It has latched on firmly
Telling me dark lies in the night
Many thoughts scream in my mind
Many joys now hard to find
It confuses me
Making my life like a black hole
All my dreams have faded away
All my days turned a desolate grey
It's over
It's done
Depression has finally won
Every thought even starker
It takes control of me
Giving me no space to breathe
Each breath is harder to take
Each smile a little more fake
It manipulates my mind
And whispers "you're mine"
Most times I no longer have hope
Most moments I can't even cope
It has latched on firmly
Telling me dark lies in the night
Many thoughts scream in my mind
Many joys now hard to find
It confuses me
Making my life like a black hole
All my dreams have faded away
All my days turned a desolate grey
It's over
It's done
Depression has finally won
I wrote this poem to help me cope when I hit a really low spot. I now write poetry whenever I get super down. I am depressed, and I know I'm not alone in that. Some days are so, so hard. But I'm trying. And if life gets tough for you...I'll listen if no one else will. God bless.
