There is a great deal of depression that has overtaken my soul,
It floods deep within, into every inch that makes me whole.
I wonder and worry of thought throughout the day,
What is to come, to my dismay.
As a flood of tears pour out of me in all my expressions,
more and more comes, more and more depression.
I assure myself everything is ok!
But who am I fooling?
Then I burst into a spirit of rage.
I have questions, and there are answers.
But I'm afraid and much too weak,
When I try to explain,
I hear I'm hearing wrong and need to be meek.
But this is how I feel, there's no wrong or right,
But as I battle with myself, I always lose the fight.
I feel intimidated sometimes by others,
But as I said "This is how I feel"
The pain in me is very real.
I lose control, my thought go wild,
and here I am only a child.
If only you knew what I thought,
If only you knew what I fought.
I need my thoughts held captive.
Oh God, assure me I'm thinking normal
and you'll help me think positive.
I'm hurting, I need you!
Please don't give up on me!
One day I will always make you smile!
Love,
Your Child

I liked this poem so much, i swear i suffer from depression but no one see's the pain deep inside no one really tries to see if there is i think, everyday its a struggle, not so much anymore but its still there, the only reason why im a little better is cause i found someone who saw the pain someone who actually cares my love. Your poem is something that i will always remember.

I liked the poem, because I think it's what my sister feels, she has to fight herself every day, so she looks normal to every one, but I think that no one really knows what she is going throuh.

I have several friends and a few relatives that have depression and anxiety. This poem was so sad. telling me, what they are going through. it's so real to them. so many think it's an act. but it's real. so real. I understand now a bit more. how they feel, what they think. My heart goes out to them.
laura
i feel the same way. if only everone new what i felt i they only new what i thought, if they only new me, they wouldnt think they no me. your poem was very good, i hope u keep on writting

It gives a sense of knowlege that someone out there, somewhere, knows how you feel and can relate to your pain and sorrows and to help encourage someone.

hey, this poem really expresses how i feel, being depressed isnt easy, and niether is being bi-polar so i would like to thank you for understanding me, although my feelings cant be expressed enough as it seems, however my hearts seams are still letting free of life, or at least thats what it feels like.
