When I was

just a short simple writing piece about my life.

When I was 7 weeks old

I lost my father.

Never knew him,

Wanted to know him.

When I was 12 years old

I was diagnosed with anxiety,

wanting to be like the people around me,

who were happy while i felt alone.

When I was 13 years old

I had been diagnosed with depression,

feeling suffocated in my own mind,

No one would or will understand.

When I was 16 years old

I started to suffer an eating disorder,

wanting to be thin,

thinking i will never be thin enough.

now I think would everything

be different if my father was around and

I had someone to talk to?

Now I say yes I am suffering but my story isn't over just yet.

this is a sad story but it is very real. Depression is a silent disease that we have to learn to fight off. Writing poems can be an outlet so that you can express whatever you need to tell. There are good friends on this site. I can be one of them.

poem writing is an escape from reality sometimes for me, even if it is just for a quick minute. depression is silent and yeah we have to fight it off but sometimes you just can't and thank you for the review.
