Depression

A Poem

By Daisy RayPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

That feeling that you get

when your lungs run out of air

That sense of loneliness and sadness,

like no one seems to care

and you're floating through your life

with just a blank stare.

That numbness that you get

when you start to think too much

and you feel like people judge you,

they think you use this as a crutch

But they don't know how real it is

when the blade slides across your skin

and you think of all those lonely times

you just could not fit in.

It seeps up into your brain

like a big, foggy, dark cloud

and you want it to go away

and you start to scream out loud

But its all just in your head,

in your mind,

in your brain

and this energy takes over you

and you start to feel insane

When the day starts out as sunny

but then it slowly starts to rain

The rain falls harder,

and harder,

and harder yet

Its like the sky is crying and it's trying to get you wet

Every bad day,

bad feeling,

it makes a lasting impression

and the times that you just stop to care

and keep a blank expression,

and all those feelings that you have

just turn into repression

you will never find an answer

to this everlasting question

You just have to carry on with life,

This is called depression.
