Depression

Depression

A Poem by Onlyme

Depression is an ugly word
just like the illness itself.

It takes hold of you
and pulls you down
sometimes
bit by bit or other
times,
suddenly
depending on your
stress levels or how
you feel in general
health wise
for me, that is how it
affects me. I should
say.

Until you feel
suffocated and sinking
inside the darkness
it brings with it. And
crying all the time.
And you feel vulnerable
lonely and scared and alone.

You can not think straight
and feel numb. Not
connected at times to
your thoughts or thinking
and you forget things,
and if anyone
talks to you. You
cannot hear them.

You are gone inside your own
mind. Lost.
Within yourself.

And fail to be arsed doing
anything, looking after you
or cleaning the home.
Whatever. Everything is
a struggle.

You just want to be left
alone.
To be on your own. And
have no one to talk with
or to interact with you ever.
Even though you feel lonely at
times, how ironic is that.

"It's like being in a lit room
and the bulb pops". Everything
is different then. And your stumbling
about in the dark.

Trapped inside your own mind.
Inside your own body Stuck..can
not get out.
