Depression Hurts. But It Doesn't Have To.

A depression poem i wrote.

We laugh

we cry

sometimes we can't get by

the things that stop us

that pull us down

is the feeling of nothing

but the ground

we fill ourselves

with self hate and self disrespect

we cut our skin to take it all in

we put away our feelings into a case

that gets buried away

with our nice other things

buried in the ground you have to dig deep

because what is most precious is always

the farthest

we need inspiration

to get what it takes

some people find theirs before its to late

other find it when the mistakes been made

and nothing can save you anymore

your body fills with fear and regret

now that you found what makes you feel lit

you remember the days where sadness fled

and happiness took over no matter what was said

but now in this day, the day you regret

the time you put that blade to your neck

you didn't cut because you knew someone cared

because someone is out there

just waiting for that day

the day you say will never come

the day that keeps all the depression away

its in a far away place. buried deep in the ground

but dig for it now

and don't let your depression bring you down.

I enjoyed it. Depression is down to the ground; Thank you. Felt so honest.

I can imagine someone with depression reciting this to themselves, it's really good.

Hey thanks for the review, it would help if you shared this on facebook or other websites. i don't normally ask for stuff like this. but i feel like this poem needs to get around. When i wrote this poem i wrote it for the love of my life (who friend zoned me hardcore) but i still love her, and i wrote it for her
