A darkness falls in the middle of the day

As the clouds of depression come racing my way

Everything around me seems so unreal

I am so overwhelmed with emotions that I can’t decide how to feel

The madness inside builds up until I scream

I wish the feeling would go away, I wish this was just a dream

I feel I am unable to do anything but cry

Unable to move no matter how hard I try

Then suddenly my tears dry up and turn into rage

As I struggle to escape my body, as if it were in a cage

Angry because I feel like I have become so weak

I remember when I was strong and positive, and now things seem so bleak

I tell myself that I can do this because God would never give me more than I could take

But then I think he must have misjudged me, this time he made a mistake

All my life I have tried to be good

And all I have ever wanted was to be trusted, loved, and understood

Yet how can I expect to be understood when I myself don’t understand

But it would help if there was someone wanting to extend a helping hand

Instead I stand here feeling so alone with so much fear

Confused at how I am around people, yet it feels like there is no one here

I try and talk about it but I’m embarrassed that I might look insane

So I hold it all inside, I feel I am bursting with pain

Will I ever find my way out of this darkness and rain?

Or will I always find myself drowing as I walk down depression lane?

Walking down depression lane

Everything is told rather simply, with no mystery, it's good that you're upfront like that. i suppose i liked it cause i could relate more that i'd ever want to, but good write, and good luck finding a different road to go down upon.

I'm here whenever you want to talk.. please message me anytime and i'll give you my messenger name. A very well written poem and so very sad. Did you know that 1 in 4 people suffer from some form or another? Hugggs and my thoughts are with you.

Hey, baby,

It's still just as sad as it was in the other place. Still just as reaching. Hope its just not as lingering. And we're lookin' forward to your walk up Uplift Lane. Good work.

i could really relate to that, as i suffer from depression. nothing ever really makes sense in life, does it? but keep praying and i have a faint hope that maybe things will get better. good write, hang in there.
