41. Waves
I was just sitting there,
Watching TV,
When a wave of sadness
Washed over me.

When you feel so lonely and can't sleep at night,
because everything gives you a fright.
The pain and the sadness takes control,
and once again you're all alone.
This poem describes my life for the past 5 years perfectly. I may not even be a teenager or adult, but these feelings reach me, and many others I know. I try to hide the emotions described in...

Behind this calm face there is a raging storm,
Like a war in my head since the day I was born.
Behind this smile there is a lonely sad frown,
No words for a state that I cannot express
Like gravity just holds me here in this mess
An invisible force stealing my air
A looming dark cloud and no one's aware
Where is that cheerful girl I used to know?
I look in the mirror and it's like I don't even recognize myself.
I look so down and tired,
I smile, I laugh, I joke around,
but my feelings no one has ever found.
They see me every day with a smile on my face,
but when I get back to this place
This is so relatable. People always think I'm happy all the time; they think I never feel pain and they try to never make me feel pain. The thing is, I already do. Whenever I do feel pain and...
All these feelings make it hard to breathe
I pray to just feel numb.
But no amount of praying
Will make the sunshine come.
I've written everything I have to say,
But the words, they rot and fall away.
So with a hole in the bottom, I'm stuck in the same boat as before
And slowly sinking just in sight of shore.
I am Sam. I am twelve years old, and I moved to Arizona over a year ago. I was diagnosed with depression two or three years ago, and sometimes I consider killing myself. I never have, and I...
The wind blows
The sun shines
The grass grows
The air smells of pines
I look into a broken mirror,
I seek to see why I am still living.
when I look around all I can see
is darkness and pain...
I was abused even before birth by my dad's sisters and mom. When I turned 1, dad left this world. Me and mama were thrown out of home by my grandparents. We came to the home of mom's...
All alone I stand still, watching from a distance
I scream as the people walk by, but no one listens
A shadow different from the rest stares back at me
I try to grasp it, but it disappears right in front of me
I Love This Poem so much and I am going through depression and this poem touch my heart completely
Depression, my friend and yet you are my foe.
You hold my hand through my tortuous times
And sail with me through the wings of birds
And the smell of leaves.
This poem said exactly how I feel. Thank you for writing it.
Where can I go?
How can I begin?
At 20, I'm still depressed,
I tried taking my life at ten.
I tried killing myself at your age. A month later I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. It's been two years, and I had gotten better, but then I fell again. I really hope you get...
Through darkness and despair,
I can count on you.
Deep in the pits of hell
I can see you,
No one knows how the heart truly feels inside
Sometimes in pain and agony
it suffers
and makes love have no where to reside
This describes the way I feel every day. It is hard. We all know that. But sometimes, words of encouragement don't work. Well, this does.
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...
No one knows what I feel today
Or that I'm dying inside.
No one knows the pain I'm in,
For it's nothing a smile can't hide.
Have you seen Joy? I have not seen her in so, so long,
I miss her, oh how I miss her and her heartwarming song.
I keep searching and searching and asking why
She looks in the mirror, and what does she see?
Something frail, broken, and unfree.
She sees the pain swollen in her eyes.
She sees the cuts she marked on her thighs.
This poem describes me. I wear a mask all the time, and I am depressed all the time and self-harm almost every day.
I know exactly what you're feeling when I was little my mom and dad used to fight and I would sit there and watch it, after we left my dad, my mom got with another man who beat her. So my...
