Gravitate toward the ground

Getting over depression with the use of love as a drug.

I'm not quiet
I've just got nothing to say.
"Did something happen today?"
"No that isn't it"
I've only given up, giving in.

"I swear I'm not depressed"
God, I'm so alone.
Everything is wrong.
Nothing can be said.
I'm dying for some rest.

Everyday's a waste and I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay around.
Gravitate towards the ground
Trying to get under it. I feel like s**t.
Death is a gift.

But that was months ago
it feels like years.
Face caked with dried tears.
But change isn't slow.
Feel the heat. Unreal glow.

Now I've got someone.
I guess that's all I need.
Someone to tell me
that I belong.
"Nothing is wrong."

But am I okay? or just disconnecting from pain.
I hope that I'm not right;
that it's not a drug replaced with night.
That's when she comes and and melts away the problems.
But left unattended they reform.

There were a few lines in here that were gems. "Im dying for some rest" and "I dont want to stay around. Gravitate towards the ground"

These lines were so strong that they carry the weight of the whole poem for me. This was a heavy subject matter and very well written.

Did you get the play on words in that line? "I'm dying for some rest"

Depression is a tough thing to go through and it's even harder to admit to others that you aren't okay when they decide to ask. Mainly we lie about being okay because if we say we aren't, we would have to explain why and a lot of the time, there is barely a reason. We have to work through life to find our own happiness, something to bring us up above the dirt so we feel somewhat better than the day before. Once we find that, whatever or whoever it may be, we feel like we are on top of the world!
