Depression

Depression sips into

my skin,

numbing my sore muscles

and my achy heart crumbles

in needless greed.

 

Self-loathe, other's useless meddling,

Worthless and a burden

 - four pillars of fear

       Shackles my very well being.

 

Should I end it?

I’m tired!

Depression can be deadly. I walked a dangerous line once. Sometimes, we question. Is what we do, meaningful. I know my grandchildren need me. I have a purpose now. Thank you my friend for sharing your amazing and powerful poetry.

No... you should never, ever end it!

I'm tired of telling you all...

We are gonna end up there, no matter what, sooner or later...

No real point in rushing things up.

Blessed be!

Wow! nicely expressed, always remember there is a light within the blackness of night ;-}

Wowzy! Powerful and accurate description of depression and its effect. We all have it to some degree or another. Have to manage it somewhere. Have to fight those fears.
