Depression

I feel this way a lot, but no one else ever realizes it behind my mask.

The dark pit of sadness

Can make you go through madness.

A hole so deep

It will keep you forever.

A couple of times a week

I weep without tears.

Have you ever felt this?

A kiss from death?

I don’t speak a word.

I go completely unheard,

As I call for help.

Without a single yelp.

I just want to die

Somewhere inside.

To get away from the world

And to be curled into a ball.

I hate feeling this way,

Most every day,

For a couple of hours

With just a scour.

This is real for me

I call out in plea

For the help I need most

As I sit here like a post.

Help me.

-Comes over and sits next to you-
Everyone says, "I understand" but they don't really. They don't have a clue because everyone's lives are different and WE are all different. No, they don't understand, but some of them care and are willing to listen and learn.
You are a blessing.
Thank you for sharing something so intimate with us. xxx

This is a good poem that talks about depression. I can feel how emotions and the images that comes with it.

"I just want to die
Somewhere inside.
To get away from the world
And to be curled into a ball."

This is totally what depression looks like. Well done.
