A life with Depression is no life at all
Depression grabs you and takes control
it will **** you down, break you good
destroys everything that you think you good
Your life will be worthless, just wait and see,
Everyone will be your enemy.
The world is out to get you
and no word of a lie
if you let it, it will **** you dry
While listening to the night
You'll wonder, will i ever see the light?
The number of fights will continue to grow
the shouting gets louder the tears will flow
trust me on this, i know.
My bed was the only place i felt i was safe
from my life
from the world
from my own tear stained face
i lost my love, my passion, my life
Depression had me, i'll not say it twice
But where does it go?
Does it fly north?
Does it just die?
Does it fall of a boat?
Where did my passion go for hitting the right note?
It's a strange thing you see losing the thing that made you happy
No longer do i get that spark of joy
when i play a peice through cleanly.
Happy pills?
Smile?
Laugh?
Enjoy?
well can you?
your no better than the rest
the ones who lie on street corners were just depressed.
life seems pointless, so why not try, some heroine, to make the time fly by
We all have our problems, can't you see?
we're the same you and me
My brain went off course
but now I'm back the way I should be
A 16 year old who smiles because she can
not because she was left by her man
A life with depression is no life at all
but now I'm back
I'm Happy
and I'm standing tall
This was the first poem I attempted to write. The only reason I wrote it was for a grade 10 project, but after that I was hooked on words and spent ages sitting in class scribbling down lines of possible poems instead of paying attention
