Terry Burns Poet Free verse

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.

Dan Kearley July 15, 2013 at 10:08 PM 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!
