Sally Harris Poet Rhyme

My Depression Has a Name

Tonight  is different
It's wanting something more
No longer speaking gental
This pain has a roar 

My depression has a name 

It's almost devoured me
Even though I fight
My spirit is now broken 
It's gonna take me tonight 

My depression has a name 

Confusion fills my mind
And  fear  is  within
Truth is, I'm weak 
Darkness is gonna win 

My depression  has a name 

I'm lost and confused
I continually cry
This name is my destination 
It's called suicide

Beata Agustin January 3, 2024 at 9:48 PM Thanks for sharing this. God bless you. Meanwhile, I greet you with a Joyous New Year with this prayer from the Bible in Numbers 6:24-26, "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."

Beryl Edmonds June 11, 2023 at 2:15 AM I will pray for you Sally, I understand what you’re going through, I’ve been there too… Belle Beryl Edmonds June 21, 2023 at 4:24 PM Sally I’ve had traumas in my life and often wished I could end life. But life’s a gift we should make the most of it, if I wake up feeling down I smile for it’s amazing what smiles can do. It helps me feel better and more importantly it helps those who’ve heartaches too. I hope this helps you, you’re beautiful, everyone is beautiful in their own way… Belle Sally Harris June 12, 2023 at 3:31 PM When was your turning point. When did it seem to get easier

David Kavanagh June 9, 2023 at 10:58 AM I don’t think you’re weak Sally, that’s what depression wants you to think, gnawing away at your defences til life seems meaningless, pointless, and worthless, I hope this particular dark episode lift’s for you soon, cheers David Sally Harris June 12, 2023 at 3:30 PM Thank you again David Kavanagh June 9, 2023 at 2:46 PM Chronic depression is indeed every bit as bad and debilitating as acute depression, writing about it can be cathartic and a coping mechanism, you are indeed in my thoughts, take care! Sally Harris June 9, 2023 at 1:31 PM David , thank you for that. It's been torturing me for sometime now. It's definable gotten better. The bad part is, it used to come on heavy and strong, even leaving scars. Now It's with me constantly but it's not so heavy. It definitely gets in the way of my ability to smile everyday. Just pray for me
