Be Strong, Believe

just a poem I wrote earlier... in an attempt to fight back my depression, but I failed badly.

In a room full of people, you feel so alone.

You realize, you're not at home.

Are these your friends?

Why don't they care?

A desperate call,

A desperate plead,

Someone help me,

I'm in need.

Keep your spirits alive.

Someone cares, someone listens.

Hold on, you can survive

Believe it, it gets better.

No one cares

I scream words no one hears

What's a reason to stay?

When I could close my eyes and lay

You could get through this

Just believe more and doubt less

Stay awake 'cause I believe

But before someone else, you do it.

First, believe in yourself.

I'm a nobody here

That no one could hear

But if I believe in myself,

And pursue my dreams,

Will I be who I want to be?

"Stay awake 'cause I believe
But before someone else, you do it.
First, believe in yourself."

I love these lines. They remind me of how people may tell they believe in you--that you can overcome depression, and that you deserve to live and be who you want-- but in the end it's your decision, and you must overcome it and believe in yourself to do it.

I really like this, how it's like two sides warring together, which is what happens in depression. There's a side of you that believes it can get better, but another side of you that can't at all. I like how in this poem, it shows that. And in the end it's an ultimate question of will you be able to overcome it and become the person you were made to be?

great :)

Really strong poem. There's a lot of feeling in it. The format is AMAZING. It makes it seem like you're discussing with yourself.
