My Depression Defines Me

The demons they hold me, my tears flow through 
Satan blood , he laugh and dances at my pain
, last night I dreamed he drew a tombstone
 with my name. 

My  depression defines me. My demons hold 
me I've been hurt, they told me they loved me 
millions of millions of times rehearsed.


dodging bullets, taking punches my veins 
flows with opiate's. High as a kite, can't
 come down my world is distorted I've 
seen hell many time cuts down my skin to 
my acknowledgement I've died. 

When your life is over you've seen hell, 
through valley of shadow of death I 
shall die, for must I say I've never been right. 


The voices they speak to me telling me it's 
going to be all right but to my acknowledgement 
I have a lot of spite. 

Throwing things, running miles down a stream, 
worshipping he who's name cannot be spoken, 
now I'm broken. Cut me open Satan drinks 
my blood out of love, I died 3 times that day, 
but what can I say? 
My depression defines me.

Been there. There is a way out and that is honesty and taking control, when you can. Poetry helps. Keep writing. Take care, Kai

We are with many here who suffer from depression. So connect with us, read our poems, and make new friends. And see how we deal with our demons.
