I am Depression

You cannot ignore me

I will make sure that  you listen

I will take away your love for life

I am Depression

You will try to be happy

and have a jubilant expression

but you cannot fool me

I am Depression

Your family will start to notice

they will pay for therapy sessions

but those doctors don't scare me

I am Depression

I am always honest

so i must make a  confession

It's been fun ruining your life

I am Depression

You have potential. Certainly you have a clear voice. I'd encourage you to take your readers on a journey with you. You might not yet even be considering your readers....but you're here. You have them. Take this insight and emotion that you have and build a world for us to explore. You have taken some very promising first steps. Im excited to see you move this forward.

I think you got this pretty well. I have depression and have had it for years now. It's really well written

[Legolas]

I have quite a bit of experience with depression. You've described it very well. If you ever need to talk to someone, I'm here.

this is pretty heavy stuff, made more so by the astute personification of "depression"

and the dialogue...

well done.

i feel, you have written this poem for me...

[Talia]

Exactly what Revery told you. This is beautifully straightforward and real.

[Revery]

Hmm, very straight forward and potent. This is raw and put the reality in the readers face.

A very good description of depression. It will kidnap your mind and thoughts and leave you weak. I like your description of depression. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
