Description
It takes over your mindKills your happiness
Puts you in a nothingness void
Full of pain and sorrow
It kicks you down
Hard to the ground
Gives you thoughts
That you never would of thought
Brings back memories
That you never wanted to remember
Makes you cry
Even though joy was all around
Keeps you up at night
In a numb state
Where all you feel is sadness
You feel dead
And you do something to make sure your alive
Even though you never thought you'd do something like that
Everything is wrong
Nothing can be right
You lose you hold on happiness
Once you think you're holding it tight
You watch it float away
Into to that wasteland
You want to scream out your lungs
But you keep it deep within
Hidden under a smile
Hidden under fear
A fear of getting hurt
Day in
Day out
You battle this
Even if it just an argument
Just a mean comment
Just something small
Meaningless to other people
It'll make you fall to the ground
In a crying psychotic mess
Everyone thinks you lost it
That you do this for attention
That the psychotic break downs
The many cuts
The tears
The terror
Is all an act
A façade of some sort
And that kills you even more
Joy
Hope
Happiness
Are all feelings that are foreign by now
Your mind is so clouded
Your pain is so deep
Your sorrow now runs in your veins
That you don't know what happiness or joy is
You think that day of tears
Pain
Cuts
Blood
Loneliness
Are as good as it gets
And once you feel happiness or joy
Or even an inch of hope
You feel as if you don't deserve it
As if you should just rot and decay away into nothing
THIS is [my] depression
THIS is [my] pain
THIS is [my] sorrow
Not some damn façade
THIS kills
Kills you [me] inside and out
Then takes a life [could be mine]
Depression hurts [trust me]
Depression kills [don't let it kill me]

That really is exactly how it feels. Love your poem. Hope you start getting well. I know probably lots have said this but if you need to vent, or just have a conversation, send me a note. Β Please don't do anything you'll regret and get better!Β

Wow, this poem was so accurate to me, too. I have a mild depression, and it strikes to me whenever it wants. Even though I have very dear friends who I trust, I still want to keep my depression to myself. I haven't told my mum about it, because I want to keep her thoughts about me as a well-behaved, cheerful daughter.
I hope you get better(even though this is kinda old), because I can tell that you're strong enough to survive all of this, and you were very brave to write about your depression. That's something everyone can't do.Β

I don't know how you feel now (I see it's an old poem), but this is exactly how it feels.
One of the worse things you hear is "you can't be depressed, no depressed person admits his depression"
Oh well, I bet you've been through that kind of stuff as well.
Very well written, welldone to ya!

I am still going through it π: 0 β©: 1
Me too. It's a horrible state.Β
Only the people suffering from it and the psychiatrists understand it.

Depression is a disability, and so is all mental disability. I'm not trying to be rude but don't say that it is RUDE to say. And honestly makes me cry when people say that.....

(Hugs) i know how it feels I'm still stuck in my lonely fuck up... Me I am this little screw up who cries when anything happens... Yesterday I was whipped with burnt piping hot twizlers and insulted called worthless called nothing called useless and more sometimes I can't take it any more but I know if I do anything I will cause depression on my friends I would be selfish.... Trying to end pain while making the people around me worry

Thank you so much and the same goes to you if you want someone to talk to. Depression is hard and that is that, if people don't believe you that is their problem and they have a problem because depression is not a joke. I wish you well

I am going through depression and I never wanted to accept that I was... every day I struggle with my life and every day more I want to die. I have many scares because of it and no one knows how I feel. Thank you for writing this, I cried happy tears.

This perfectly describes it all, I'm going through that at the moment and I feel exactly the same as what you said, "I have people who care about me and a life that isn't perfect but nothing to complain about. So why am I f***ed up and depressed all the time?"
