An Explanation

Day forty six thousand nine hundred and twenty three
At least that's how long it seems to me
Maybe a little longer, who knows?
What I do know is that I'm depressed and it shows
I don't eat right, I don't sleep at night
Days go by and I
Just waste them
My demons by my side and I can't face them
I try to find reasons but somehow I've misplaced them
Can't find the right words
I must have erased them
So I sit here confused, staring off into space
My heart broken and bruised
My mind all over the place
Spinning in circles, racing to nowhere
Dreaming of a better place
But believing I'll never get there
Carrying mountains I was only supposed to climb
Wasting time, because I'm
Unsure
and afraid
And what's worse
Is I made
This bed where I lay
Maybe that's why I'm this way

This is a really strong poem and it resonates with me. I so empathize with these words. It is difficult to pull yourself out of this type of situation when you find yourself in it. Depression is just a horrible mental ailment to go through and can really destroy your life. Thank you for sharing this honest poem with us.

I agree my friend.
"and afraid
And what's worse
Is I made
This bed where I lay
Maybe that's why I'm this way"
I have always said. I am where I suppose to be. I made the decisions. Hello dear friend and thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

This is incredibly relatable. I enjoyed reading it as it flowed together like pieces of a puzzle. I am astonished. Just know you are not alone and things will get better over time. Never stop dreaming.
