Depression Poem

I just feel so low and have felt this way since December. My family knows but none of them seem to care. My friends are sympathetic, but I can see they are getting tired of me. They are getting tired of me not wanting to come out. I can't help it. I hate going out. I'm scared I don't know what of, but of something.

Curl Up And Die

© Terri
my pain runs so deep I feel like it is inside of me
running through my veins
carving me up as it goes
I don’t want to feel like this
but does anybody care?
I doubt it
I’m a liability
that’s all
nobody cares
they’ve just had enough of me
so I curl up inside my house
and have people say
come out you’re boring
come see the world
but I don’t want to!
I’m scared.
of what? I don’t know
everything!
I look at the pills
and contemplate doing it
but I’m too scared
so I just curl up and cry wishing I had the bravery to die.

  • I know how you feel. My mom knows how I feel but she doesn't seem to care at all. She saw the cuts on my arm and told me that she will stop drinking if I stop cutting. But last week I found out she had a drink and today I found two bottles. It makes me feel like she doesn't care. I threw the bottle out of the room yelling "THERE YOU GO" and she asked me what was wrong. Like she didn't know.
