My Daughter's Tears

I really like this poem. I went through a pretty bad depression and my parents didn't notice it, or they chose to ignore it, and it took me awhile, but through softball and horses, I finally got out of it. I find this poem touching because it shows someone close to you actually cares.

I love this poem because your position reminds me of where my moms at. I'm depressed and no one but my mom has been there with me the whole time even when she's stressed and worried. thank you.

I absolutely love this story. I've experienced depression before and all my parents didn't notice, and I was too scared to tell them because I didn't know if they'd believe me. You're daughter is so lucky you have a mom like you, who noticed the depression and did something about it.

I really love this poem. I hope you know that this poem can really help your daughter and might lighten her up a little bit. Honestly I envy her because she has a mother like you that cares for her and understands her and what she's going through. I am experiencing depression until now (it's milder now) and I've told my parents about it, told them I'm serious but still they're like "do you really know what depression is?" and then when I told them I have most of the symptoms, they're like "that doesn't mean you have depression. You're just making yourself and your life complicated...". so really, it makes me happy, thinking that not all parents are like that. Seriously it's better to fight depression with someone you're really close to than fighting with depression alone. Hope all the best for you and your daughter ^_^

I am 12 and I suffer with depression, I never thought about it until I got it, this poem is so true! I think they should raise awareness of it.

Well I suffer from depression because mainly I feel my mom doesn't show me any attention at all. We don't talk to one another at all ... but I love her but we don't have no connection or relation ..

Beautiful poem. I myself am 14 I have suffered from depression for a few years now. My mum has been pretty much my best friend through it all. I have lost many good friends partly because of my depression but my mum has always been there for me.

I love this poem, it made me cry. You are very brave to see and understand.

I'm a poet myself, but I used to only write because I was depressed. I thought no one cared until I met someone. This person has been like a brother to me and has helped me through the hell that my life used to be. Now I live each day with purpose.
