Say Hello To My Friend Depression

Drapes are drawn, the room dark and cold just the same as my heart and soul. It's an everyday struggle just to wanna open my eyes and have the strangth to climb out of bed. I face this constant battle every single day! No one knows how hard I fight and how exuasted it leaves me. The silent and deadly war with my mind, body, heart and soul is most definitely a sketchy one, one wrong move and it could be deadly. I am angry and I am sad, my soul is hollow, my heart well that is completely destroyed. My mind is nothing more than a cluster of dark and horrible thoughts and my poor body is battered and bruised. Most days I pray that God would put me out of my misery. Then on some of my few better days I try and force that pathetic fake smile upon my face, that a hundred times to one fails me. No one understands the constant pain that i suffer. No one knows the rage I must control and keep contained no one knows the fight I fight each and everyday. I feel like I'm drowning constantly choking and gasping for air with out the relief of the water finally filling my lungs and dying. Always in pain always suffering and stressing with no sign of comfort any where in sight.

Dear Ashley, This is a powerful and brave testament to the silent struggle you face. It's heartbreaking to read of the darkness that engulfs you, but your honesty and strength shine through. Know that you are not alone. Depression's icy grip is a battle faced by many, and your willingness to share your experience opens a space for understanding and connection. The fight you wage every day, pushing back against the waves of despair, is an act of incredible courage. -Blessings, Daniel

l can relate to your well written poem. Many years ago l used to have severe depression. Its a very dark and lonely place. l thought no one understood. It didnt help when l l related my feelings to someone who looked shocked ,who said they never suffered with depression. We cant see them but there are more out there than we know. But i'm proof we can overcome and reach peace and 'see' the beauty that is right in front of us.Deep thought provoking writing my friend. J.

Their was a film made many years ago called 'rear windows' about a man who was depressed as he was housebound due to injury and spent his days watching people from his window. He saw all their problems others couldnt see. Keep writing my friend, poetry is a 'window'
