Depression

I live inside a deep and dark cave There is no hope, no will to live I feel trampled, unable to move I no longer feel like doing what I once loved to do My failures they come time and time again Unable to cope, distancing myself from friends My memory is tested, my emotions are broken My confidence is shattered my deep thoughts unspoken I feel all alone in my world of despair like those all around me have nary a care Depression devours like an infectious disease Someone please help me, my God help me please.

Brilliantly written Terry the imagery here is superb. I have not suffered from depression but my sister has long term so i can really relate to this. Hugs Jan x

I'm here for you Terry. I lived with depression myself for quite some time. I stopped holding everything in. Just let it all gooooooo.... Sometimes it's good to just let it all out. Let it go.... Hang in there!
