Depression

[Linaspjut]

Depression is a war
A battle against yourself
Every thought is a bullet
There is so escape
There is no light
A sea of emotions
Swallowing me whole
Engulfing me every second
Depression a war
And I am losing

[Oliviachan]

Keep battling young poet! Beatiful piece that accurately describes the battle with the depression! Continue to fight depression by expressing yourself through the delicate words of poetry!

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

[Bertsenli]

A civil war it began
And only I was the wiser
I should have overcome it back then-
But my morale was weak
And I let it defeat me.

But slowly it grew
And mercilessly it spread
Until everyone I cared about
Was dragged in to the fight-
When I went down, I brought them all with me.

Alas! Now there is only regret
For I wish I had fought
To protect those I love
And they wish they had seen my struggle
And rushed to my defense.

Amazing emotional poem. I think this is definitely an accurate representation of depression as I've seen one of my friends struggle with it until she finally got better.

I feel this poem so much, and it is raw and beautiful. It paints a picture that many people understand in it's entirety and can relate to. I hope everyone that this poem speaks to continues to fight the good fight and know that you are not alone!

Beautifully written!

I have depression too. I've had it for a long time now, so I can at least give you the hope that after a while you get used to living with it. You can learn coping skills and how to live with it. This year I finally started therapy. I have a one-on-one therapist and I am also in a group of other people with depression. I wish I had done that years ago, because I have learned so much about coping with it through this that I am really beginning to feel like I can overcome it. I have medicine that I take too, but they say that if you do the medicine AND therapy that your chances of overcoming it are a lot greater. Here is to wishing you the best. I'll be thinking of you.
