This poem describes the feelings inside of me once I found I was diagnosed as a "depressed" person. These aren't even close to all of the thoughts that goes through your head.

Am I Alone?
by Megan Hance
I get a funny feeling,
it comes from deep inside.
I get all mad and angry,
wanting to go and hide.

My doctor calls it depression,
my dad says it's just me.
But the thoughts and feelings,
no one will ever be able to see.

Some say I'm psycho,
some say I'm just weird.
It's like I'm a different person,
and the old me just disappeared.

I get really edgy,
I want to commit suicide real bad.
Then I get a headache,
followed by feeling sad.

I wish I could get help,
I wish it would go away.
Maybe if I keep praying real hard,
it will some day.

Hey girl, i just read ur little poem ay, i think what ur doing 4 ur pain is mad cause i do the same. I've been feeling like this since 02' but 'SOMEHOW' i'm still here. The Only reasons for this being my lil niece and sister and the gift of writing down all internal pain & confusion into a poem- in the form of a song. You should keep doing what you do, how you do and don't worry baybe. you know i'm here for you. Love from Luminoso LL

i think this poem should be voted number one against many others. mi best friend feels the same way. i have tried to get her help but she says theres no way. every night i pray hoping that mabey just mabey she can feel like a normal person. i understand there is no such thing as a normal person, but for her to feel free from all the depression.
k
It is sad. I almost cried.

Totally agree, im 30 now and still don't know what i should do with my life. ive lost all contact with friends and feel like i can't confide in people close to me without feeling guilty. Your poem hit the spot. be happy. that's me being optomistic. or putting others feelings before my own. take care
amy
This is a really good poem i have felt like this many times. My friends have to. Its hard cause when you fell this way you feel that your all alone an the only one who feels this way. But we all do sum time or an other. sum just can hide it better then others. I often felt i was insain or going crazzy. Like no one new how i felt. Then i discoverd expressing myself with poems. NOW I FEEL NORMAL LOL.

i really enjoyed this poem. it was like she understood everything that was inside my head or vise versa. seeing someone express their thoughts and feelings this way has shown me that i dont have to keep it bottled up inside i can write.
