Depression
Depression is a monster
That destroys both heart and soul.
It tortures without mercy
And consumes its victim whole.
Depression has a different quality than the normal range of sadness that you may feel throughout the day. When you are depressed you do not feel like being with anybody. You either sleep way more than usual or you can hardly sleep at all. Similarly, your appetite is either nonexistent or increases dramatically. Your energy level goes way down and you have a feeling of hopelessness about life. As difficult as it may be it is important to get out of the house and get some help. You are not alone.
Depression is a monster
That destroys both heart and soul.
It tortures without mercy
And consumes its victim whole.

She stood on the bridge
In silence and fear,
For the demons of darkness
Had driven her here.

Sometimes I can't find the words
That fill my messy head.
Can't find the effort to smile
Or get out of my silly old bed.
Can't you hear my silent screams?
They are so loud they echo in my dreams.
Behind this face that carries a smile
Depression is not something you can explain - it is most definitely not sadness. Sadness is about crying and feeling. But depression- it's the absence of feeling, a hollowed feeling. It eats...
You would never know it,
The constant pain I feel,
Because in the light of day
It almost isn't real.

Hiding the hurt, hiding the pain,
Hiding the tears that fall like rain.
Saying I'm fine when I'm anything but.
This ache in my soul rips at my gut.
I am going through the exact same thing right now, and I don't know if this will help, but no one should go through that alone. First, you truly are not alone. Please take to comfort that...
Anger. Pain.
It's getting harder to hide
All the feelings I've built up inside.
I totally understand you. I am always putting up masks so no one really knows how I really feel or what I'm really dealing with. And it's dragging me down, and it's like I'm being pulled down...
Emotions.
Do you feel them?
She was numb and frozen,
Yet it dimly sparkled like a dying gem.
When you feel empty and hollow, I feel like it's easy to feel alone. This poem helped me realize that I am not alone and that there are other people out there who struggle to feel again, who...
It's hard sometimes to say exactly what I'm worth.
Sometimes even harder dealing with the hurt.
To feel like no one's there during all my pain.
I know that my post is late, but I hope--by some miracle--you will discover it. I am much older than you, and I, too, have experienced a life that is void of human companionship. It is my...
