Depression

Depression There are many thoughts that envelope your inner voice There are many scenarios that do and do not give you a choice There are many fears that grip your heart and very soul There are many changes that were not part of your goal You lose the will to achieve, to fight, to carry on You lose the strength to except things that are gone You lose the understanding that you once held so true You lose the confidence that once was your mainstay glue D Day by day lost in confusion and fear E Escalating frustration that no one hears P Pursuance of a dream so very hard to achieve R Reliance of a truth, that you no longer believe E Everywhere others find their way, or so it seems S Solutions evade you, lost in nightmares and dreams S Solitude is your friend, your enemy, deep within your soul I Interwoven confusion, all anger, all angst you withhold O Only you hold the key to release all this anger and pain N Not being able to see any achievements, the gifts you have gained I understand your feelings of being lost, in despair I understand sometimes you feel that no one cares I understand your need to find love and compassion that define I understand your depression, though I truly don’t understand mine These are the many feelings of being lost within ones self The negative feelings you have should be placed on a internal shelf This is self absorption, you should never visit, that should be denied This cannot help you, only leave you lonely, in a world only you reside We all experience some form of depression from time to time Try to find something to be grateful for, something so sublime Try and give many thanks for what you have right here and now Try to give a warm smile to another, maybe help them somehow You are not alone within your depression, though that’s not how you feel These feelings you have can be so overwhelming, each one of them so real Reach out to others in your darkest times, in your deepest time of need Don’t go it alone, the answers you seek maybe when someone intercedes
