Depressions Cycle

The many thoughts wishing that I was dead. Not able to tell which voice is mine. Just get out of my head! The many voices that intertwine. I hate that you know me so well! Attacking the faith, that's keeping me alive. Those little whispers condemning me to hell. Is my death the outcome for which you strive? With me gone, you'll be gone too! No longer able to spread your spite! You didn't consider that did you, you fool! And now to defeat you, I might! The many thoughts wishing that I was dead. Not able to tell which voice is mine.

There a being inside us that is stronger than all these voices... Depression is hell itself. I glad you paint this picture so well... Best regards. Phred

Depression is hard to combat. I can relate to your feelings in your poem. Sometimes dumping your emotions out on the page can be a rescue. It caught my eye with the rhyme scheme. Good job, I enjoyed stopping to read it.

This is great. You really captured what it's like in a state of depression. Thankfully what goes up must come down and therefore we don't tend to dwell in it for too long. Life is an everlasting change of seasons that come and go as our moods. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day
