Dear Depression

Dear Depression

Dear depression let me be.
All I want is to be happy.
Yet you still creep inside,
And I have nowhere I can hide.

I have no choice, I must abide,
Fall victim to your seductive side.
I start to believe in all your lies.
(Though I know it is unwise.)

You make me wear this cheap disguise,
And only few can look behind,
And when they do they like what they find.
It makes me lonely. I'm losing my mind.

So please depression give me a break.
I'm doing my best and my life is at stake.
I'm sure you know there's only so much I can take.
I'm so very tired of making the same mistakes.

Susan Ashley Date: 6/13/2018 10:02:00 PM A very poignant plea, Alycia, in which you describe, with delicate sadness, the effects your dark emotions are having upon you. The purity of your poem's emotions allow me to really feel you and your desperate longing to be free of depression. Let your beautiful poetry pour forth from your heart my friend.. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Login to Reply
