Ode To Depression

No one tells you how lonely it is Sitting in the kitchen floor at 2am The taste of metallic resolution The weight of conviction No one tells you about the numbness Extremities floating softly The dull whisper of water The warmth of surrender No one tells you about the satisfaction An agonizing temptation Tantalizing milky canvas Tortured artist begging for release No one tells you about the end How quiet it gets Temperamental judgement Truculent rage

You are right... Hardly anyone understands either.... Depression has different levels and effects people differently... Your poems raise awareness and that is important... I wrote a poem called drowning in the darkness which is about depression..
