     Loneliness is …..
The empty feeling that comes from within

Loneliness is ……
The longing to share your thoughts and feelings with someone who’ll listen

Loneliness is ……
Reaching out for open arms to find none there

Loneliness is …..
Standing in a crowded room but feeling alone

Loneliness is …...
Picking up the phone but having no one to call

Loneliness is …...
Knowing there is no one thinking of you

Depression is …..
Feeling alone

Depression is …..
Knowing this will never change

Depression is …..
Knowing your best isn’t good enough

Depression is …..
Knowing nothing you do matters

Depression is …..
Realizing your best days have gone

Depression is …..
Looking forward to the end

Depression is …..
Knowing no one really cares that you are looking forward to the end

L.. Pierson

    

Depression is a world

      Depression is a world
Depression leaves you lost
Depression drops you into a never ending black hole
You want to get help
But you can't
When you do
You wish you didn't
Depression leaves you numb
With fear
Depression leaves you no hope
No ambition
Nothing to look forward to
Tears well in your eyes
Depression leaks out
Out into the open

Depression

      Depression is like a tidal wave pulling you further in
You don't feel up to facing anyone or anything

Depression is a huge emphasis on feeling sad and low
You feel like you're in a dark place with nowhere else to go

Depression is like you're falling deeper into a black hole
Your mind feels violated and as though you have no control

Depression is having little energy or lack of motivation
You feel tired and don't want to engage in conversation

Depression is used in the wrong context by naive people
They don't understand the seriousness of how it affects people

Depression is isolation, withdrawal, low self-esteem and more
You will never understand it unless you've been through it before

Depression and death

      Depression isn't just something you get over eventually
depression stays with you till the end
depression is my best friend
and sorrow my main man
they never leave my side even if i want them to
my world is covered in black and there is no way to see the light
so might as well end it now
and shove a rusty knife through my heart

A Dark World

      Depression is a dark hole in your heart it never leaves, it will always stay with you until you die.
Depression is a fight you never win you try and try but some how you lose everything dear to you.
Depression is a world were your stuck its so lonely.you have no friends, no family, no air, you wish you could just die.
Depression a pain that hurts you inside and outside.
They say depression is a piece of your brain you are missing. And medican is there to help hide your demon side so they say....

A state of depression

      Speak out my dear
Why hath thou in a state of depression?
Speak out my dear
I stand here waiting for thy confession

Depression is not a sign of weakness
Neither an indication of madness

I stand here not to judge you
Simply to take heed to what is true

Depression is not a crime
It only calls for love through time

Depression is a silent voice
Rooted deep inside to stop a crying noise

Speak out my dear
Why hath thou in a state of depression?
Speak out my dear
I stand here waiting for thy confession

What have you lost along the way?
Retrace your steps, I say

Who have you lost?
Take heart, everything in life must rust

What is it you want?
Grant me a permit in your hunt
But first of all let me be blunt
Condemn yourself not for your mistakes
That is what it takes for you to be awake

Life is meant to be messy and greasy
The road is not meant to be easy

Speak out my dear
Why hath thou in a state of depression?
Speak out my dear
I stand here as a friend
My compassionate heart is yours to lend
Merely to give you inspiration
And redeem you of your depression

Thus, speak out my dear!
Why hath thou in a state of depression?

These poems tell how I feel. No one understands what I am going through. They think I am just in a funk, and I just need to "pull myself out of it" but if I could do that I would have by now. I wont kill myself because I have a three year old daughter and she needs me. But then I feel like Im not good enough as a parent. And I know that I have no choice but to go on, but I am tired of just existing. I dont want a life like this. I dont feel like the meds I am on are working but I dont feel like my doctor is willing to put me on anything stronger, because I have alot of other health problems. I have ballooned up to 280 lbs and I have no energy, no strength, no vitality and I wish that It would just go away and I could feel like I regained my life back. No one seems to understand what I am going through. Oh if you could just get some friends, or oh if you would just exercise or oh you are just being dramatic, or just pull out of it. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS. I dont want my life to be this way. I turn 35 on wednesday. I am too young to be old. I feel I am living in hell.
