Hurting Poem by Teens

Life Is My Enemy

I originally wrote this poem for a homework assignment, but then people started to comment on it. I wrote it because I used to be depressed and I used to cut myself. That was about two years ago. Ever since I wrote this poem, it has helped me to stop being depressed and to stop cutting.

I Am Depression

Published by Family Friend Poems September 2008 with permission of the Author.

I am depression.
You know me for destroying people's lives.
My mother is the drugs you take to ease your pain.
My father is the pain you feel every day.
I was born in your thought, that can't be erased.
I live in your memories that last forever.
My best friend is death.
Because we work as one, we live to make you grieve.
My enemy is life
Because I long to bring you pain.
I fear for the worst
Because it is not the terms I wish for.
I love to make you sad
Because that is how I am.
I dream to make you miserable.
