You Never Know

You never know, you see When the next time will be. One moment, you may be happy. As happy as can be The next, deep sadness and depression strike suddenly. Suffocating pressure, like drowning in the depths of the sea You feel shame as you wonder, "what's wrong with me?" Emotion, so heavy on your chest that you struggle to breathe It's no wonder that you have no energy Time seems to slow, the seconds go by drearily Shame fills you, as you remember how strong you used to be Especially when just saying hi feels like a small victory After what feels like an eternity The feeling leaves, almost bitterly And despite the feeling leaving me I still remember fearfully That suffocating agony There are others like me How others don't see it in us, to us seems a mystery Yet I know they'd say with me "You never know, you see When the next time will be."

I am one of those others like you. This poem describes me so well but unfortunately I haven't got to the point where it leaves yet. I still struggle day in and day out. Thank you for this poem Caleb
