Depression

to always have this feeling a feeling that never quits as it is more depressing the deeper and darker that it gets it seems that all these blackened walls keep closing in on me where there's not a day i can't recall of ever feeling free it's a miracle this broken heart can keep up with its beats this feeling that i'm not at all never seems to leave shadows in the corners of my soul beating the happiness out of me depression has the remote control changing channels as i breathe i always have this feeling that i'm feeling will never quit it gets more depressing the deeper and darker that it gets Was speaking with a friend yesterday that goes through bouts of depression. I really don't understand and that saddens me. I wish I could help but I really don't know how.

It is so hard when someone suffers from depression, we try so hard to cheer them upbut nothing seems to work.. your empathy shows here though.. Sometimes it is better to let them find their own way out... but, always let them know you are only a phone call away... great write Mike..
