I'm turning into everything I promised myself I wouldn't be.
Everything I hate.
I'm losing all the values I've lived by.
All the values I've tried so hard to emulate.
I hate myself.
I hate this world.
I hate everyone in it.
I'm trying to be a better man.
The only person I have to prove it to is myself.
How about you?
Everything that I have is being taken from me.
The freedoms I once held dear are being stripped.
Everything a human being is entitled to is being stolen.
My happiness has been replaced with sadness.
Hatred.
The life that I had was so great.
It was filled with friends, food, and fulfillment.
I now have to struggle for all of these.
My friends are slowly becoming acquaintances.
The food is no longer filling and enjoyable.
My actions no longer make me feel good about myself.
Now I'm second guessing all the choices I make.
Their is a bright side though.
It shows through occasionally.
Looking into my sisters happy eyes.
Having a good times with my friends.
Doing the right thing because it's right.
No God is telling me to do these things.
No Bible is explaining why.
This is a good life.
I should be happy.
I'll add that to my list.

tears are
heaving down on
us, a
never-ending
depression that the
earth experiences; a
rapid
sorrow
that eats up and lets
out a shattering
remorse filled with deep
malevolence

Ominous tides control my mind
Killing me on the inside
Ageless hurt boiling in the pit of my soul
Yearning to be set free from the eternal prison I have made in my head
Ineffectually think of my impending doom
Fearing the person that I am slowly melting into
Equally hating myself for my sinful crimes
Eloquent words flowing off my hateful tongue
Leaving behind the once pure little girl inside
Deranged voices talking to me
Expecting me to comply
After death and before lie
Depression is my only truth
Nightfall arriving, perishing my once boisterous being
Opening the demon in my soul
Who will not leave me alone

Big *** label, right here.
Mom, don't believe it. Your psych degree is better (she has none).
Deny it. I dare you
But I did hide, for you.
Made it seem alright.
Did you a favor that's hurting me now.
Bubbles rolling up into my belly and into my arms and flow through my tongue and fingers and
Maybe I'll scream.
Down I go then, just wait a bit.
Better not say I want it. (the big S)
Meds would follow, I say gross.
**** fine. I'm just **** fine. Happiest chick you'll ever meet.

Depression means
Endless nights of emotional
Pain,
Rainstorms of
Escalating
Sadness that cannot be
Stitched shut because this
Injury is an
Open wound no
Needle can fix

theres a demon that lives in you
sometimes quiet sometimes its screeching
its unpredictable and dangerous
sometimes its too late to see the happiness its been leeching
its evil and strong
makes you think that inside of you is something inherently wrong
you fear this beast
you dont trust it in the least
because its lies and tricks
makes you feel fine then makes you feel sick
its drives you mad
drives you insane
because you come to realize
its a part of your own brain

Isolation often engenders depression
Depression is e'er marked by sadness
Sadness makes us expressive of grief
Grief is a distress that wears you out
Out is where we all should try to be!
