21. Tidal Wave
In our darkest nights and our brightest days,
emotions fill us like tidal waves.
They can drag us down and pull us in,
In our darkest nights and our brightest days,
emotions fill us like tidal waves.
They can drag us down and pull us in,

Depression is here every day,
And it never goes away.
Go away! I yell into the dark,
As if someone is there.
Ok love, look. I know how it feels when you're so young but you only feel like ending it. I've been there, and I wanna tell you something, and it's the most cliche thing to say. Get help, and...

What do you see when you look in my eyes?
A freak? A nameless being?
Or maybe simply another face in the endless sea of people
What do I see when I look at myself in the mirror?
I've been suffering with depression for a while now. I truly don't know how long as I truly can't remember a starting point for it. People would never guess. Never. I am 14, have a good...
I suppose it's hard for some to understand.
This is not the way that I had planned.
I don't know how I've let myself get this way,
And sometimes feel like calling it a day.
This is a really good little fun sized poem the puts the darkness of the topic into a slightly lighter-hearted, almost depressingly whimsical feel. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
You've had those feelings... you wish your life was done.
You're broken, defeated, and overcome.
Each day more challenging than the last.
Moments of weakness...emotions consistently masked.
Beautiful. Starting with pessimistic feelings, ending optimistically. True.
Friends can change our lives for the better. Life is not to suffer, but to enjoy. How Is left to us to...
Until it affects someone we love,
We don't even know it's there.
It's really not our problem,
So why should we care.
As I read this poem, I hurt with you. I feel the pain and still do that you do and could only imagine what your mother must of be going through to help you deal with it and trying to...
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...
The hurt in my eyes is all that has to be said
Sometimes I know I'm better off dead
The pain is the only thing I can feel
Knowing it's the one thing that's real
This is so deep. I felt this in another level. I have the same exact feelings sometimes.
When I look at myself, I see nothing good.
I see all the flaws that no one else should.
I wear a mask
To hide the pain
Hello Miriam, how are you doing? I hope everything is great. I'm 17 years old, a teenager just like you, and I can feel your poem because I experienced the self-hatred you are talking about...
Walking into a typhoon,
Swimming against the tide,
That's just how it feels,
When my truth I have to hide.
When you look at me,
What do you see?
I bet if you look deep enough
You would see right through me.
She may seem alive
But she's dead inside.
How can one live
When the important things died?
This hit me hard. This is exactly what I felt every day. Without my "friends" I had nothing to think about. I felt numb. With them I can't think about what's happening inside my head.
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,
My head is not right today.
I have no idea why it's this way.
It switches from one thought to another.
Life is a bitter sweet pill
I am forced to take against my will
Everyone trying to pull me
Back into so called reality
Life is fickle. So are we. All I could say is never lose hope, dear.
So--this is where we are.
After coming so far,
This is what it's come to.
After all we've been through,
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...
A silent shadow
stalking me in the night.
The doors are open
but I cannot see the light.
