Mike Hauser Poet Rhyme

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.

Silent One October 29, 2017 at 7:28 AM 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..
