Having depression and anxiety is like being thrown into a raging, surging ocean
When you don't know how to swim.
Meanwhile, the whole world expects you to keep swimming forward,

I had sight, but the darkness offers me no light.
I had visions, but the darkness suppresses them.
I had self-belief, but the darkness overshadows my confidence.
I had freedom, but the darkness shackles me.

No words for a state that I cannot express

It's hard to explain those
demons inside,

Confusion sets in.
My mind is a blur.
Overthinking too much,
So hard to endure.
I feel like there is nowhere to go.
I feel like I can't get out.
I feel like there is no one I can show.
I feel like I can't shout.
Feel broken down, my body aches

Can't stop the tears, they fall like rain
The words are spinning 'round my brain...
Short very rich in words, true, and to the point I love this poem, great Job!!!!!!
It's like a plague that never goes away,
Or an animal and its prey.
It waits...
And waits...
Yes .very true..and other people think that you're weak minded..its been 2 years since my divorce. I was with my wife over 16 years ..I gave everything for her and my kids..but she said...
The burning hate,
so severe, everlasting,
the hate you take every day,
that you absorb,
I am very touched by this poem . I have favored it and I will show it to others if asked about depression. Thank you!
I smile and laugh wildly, having fun with my friends.
They don't know what huge lie I have to pretend.
To my friends, I'm the funny girl who's so full of life.
They don't know how many times I'd held a bloody knife.
They say "be happy." Do you really think I want to be happy? I do, but the cruel people in the world hate me. I try and try and try. But I always just let go. All my friends are so happy...
