Can'T Take Any More

How much longer can this go on? How much more do I have to take? One foot in front the other with never a pause or break. Relentlessly this pain does grind I'm weary to the core I no longer have the strength to battle one day more. I know you'd say to not give up that I should keep on trying But it's so hard to carry on when inside you're slowly dying. So let me just throw in the towel and for one last time I'll weep then let my cares just drift away while I forever sleep. Emote Contest. Depression. H/M

Right on target with your description of depression, Emma. People can tell you to keep going, but when you're seriously depressed, it's hard to find the energy. All you do is cry and sleep. Awesome entry for Deb's contest. Wishing you success! Love, Carolyn

This is a very good write, it conveys the emotion with out getting bogged down in it. My advice would be to look at the winners of this contest when it finishes, work out which words may you feel, which ones really fit the emotion being described - Good luck
