i've grown tired of the fight
i use these words to battle depression
i despise the words i write
imbedded in my mind
are memories of the past
somethings i will not find
happiness never does last
all those moments will be lost in time
like tears in the rain
out of the abyss i will never climb
i have only myself to blame
so take my paper and my pen
this shield and sword
has failed me again
depression struck down
and cut my spirit
why do i write
when no one shall hear it
my body rendered bloody
along with my dreams
it's hard to hold on
when you're torn at the seams
so take my paper and my pen
this shield and sword
has failed me again
and with all my useless thoughts
i shall start a fire
i've fought this monster all for naught
depression has consumed my desires
so when this flame gets hot enough
i will lay within
battered and handcuffed
as my soul expires

djs. You are not the only one out there with Depression. I have it too. And please don't do anything that we at YPDC or your friends and family might regret. Or rather, be saddened by.
What you do to yourself will influence others whether or not you want it to.
It comes back threefold and will make your life even more miserable.
I say, if you feel this bad, there's nowhere to go but up.
This poem explains your feelings well, but I'd rather you not let your soul expire.
Your Depression is allowing you to be creative. Harness it, cradle it, allow it to be. It WILL go away some day. Trust me.
And PLEASE don't stop writing.
I enjoyed this poem immensely.
Forever your writing friend,
Cupid |

She's right you know, just it gets hard, everyone knows that, and at times it'll seem like your the only one going through it, like your alone, and know one knows how you feel but in all honesty a lot of people do. If it's this hard, you should try to do as much to break it down as possible, if writing helps, is and outlet - do it. Keep writing, find a way, to make you feel better, find someone who will listen to you, and help get the weight off your shoulders... you don't need to take it on your own, depression's a hard thing, it consumes you and you get caught up in its grasp and are unable to free yourself from it. You begin to think, it's easier living with it, in it, having it surround you, its beatable, you'll conqure ( i dont think i spelt that right lol) it, and you then you'll see that there are good things, that things can get better. "You'll see the light" lol, just try to do whatever helps, don't supress it, don't ignore it, fix it. Best wishes, I hope things get better for you, just know there are people you can talk to you if you need it, there are numerous people on this site that are kind, and amazing, that would do anything to help a stranger. I know we can't fix it, but I know for myself even though its hard and usually takes awhile when I finally talk about stuff, I feel a lot better, and it just doesn't seem as bad you know? You'll be ok, things will get better. Great write, and good luck, I really hope this won't be your last.

| i have been in that place for over a year, and its getting to the point where ive regressed to writing what i do not consider having any sort of brilliance. i never really wrote to rid myself, but to gain myself. if this is your last, then you are denying yourself and the world someone that wielded the pen with talent. i salute you for sharing as much as you have though. |

No, you do not stop writing. You write for you and it is for you only. That is one thing, and the other thing is, if all of us writers stopped writing, because of writers block, or depression, or because we thought we are going nowhere with it, or we think we will never ever become published, or that no one cares about what we write, well listen to me, you just keep writing, if nothing else, it is a great and useful tool, and it is cheaper than any counselor. Let this not be your last poem, for I have read it, and I do not want your last poem to sit heavily upon my heart. If I never ever wrote another word for myself, you can be darn tooting I will write to tell everyone how much of an importance it is to me to read your art work, how soothing, how much I learn from everyone, how much it involves me into meeting you, I feel close as family. Well, I have at times thought to stop writing online, but I would never stop writing. This year, since June have I ever shared or shown my special poems, outside of a classroom, what holds fast to my heart, I said.. my heart.. and they are special to me, even if some get poor comments, or votes.. I do not care. I love to share and hopefully, someone will come along and learn something from my simple writes, to them it may be just the poem that helped them in their day.
Look I was a teacher to this stuff, and my students were much better than I was. I never stopped writing, I can't anyway.. too much in me to say.. My husband said this to me, when I said, wow, maybe I should not teach, they do better than I, and he said to me, "that makes you a damn good teacher doesn't it!" I guess it did, for I taught enough for them to be able to write, pro or not. My point is though, please, keep writing, you have a lovely soul, I know, if you didn't you would never have taken the time to share this with us, you would have just slowly slipped away. Much love and huggs to you dear writer..I am glad I caught this poem. I say once again, said it several times now, and that is, everyone here is important in what they say, everyone here is like family, and thanks to Mick and his dear family to keep this site going, and all members, it helps all to retain the value of our lives and to many, including myself, to have somewhere to go, when I am all dressed up, and no where to go. Never become embarrassed in what you write, its all poetry, comes from the heart, whether sad, or happy, all emotions come from us, even if written in fiction.
Love from Raquel Leah :D |

| Writing is not going to solve your problems no...and by itself, it's not going to cure your depression...but you will be better off in every way if you keep writing. Self expression through poetry can be as healing to the soul as anything else. You're going to have rough times, we all do. Hang in there, it won't last forever. Enjoyed your poem. I know it won't be your last. |

We are all humans.
Bad has to go with the good.!
No one or anything is perfect.!
If it was then, I beleive we would be bored .Think about it? To have all on a shiny platter.......Nope.!
So, keep writing..........use your writing for help to release the angusih you keep. Use it to help with all emotions.....Cant say it will help 100%..but dont stop because your depressed.! You have a talent for words....go back and read some of your writes, you will see.!
