Poem On Extremity Of Depression

Most people don't understand the extremity of depression. This doesn't even begin to describe what I go through every day. But, it's at least a glimpse into my mind.

I loved some of the phrases you used. This definitely inspired my newest artwork!

Screams Drag Me Under

Published by Family Friend Poems August 2011 with permission of the Author.

This can't be real
This pain I feel
I'm in a dark cave
All alone never to be saved

Won't somebody find me?
Open my eyes, let me see
Bring me back into the light
Into happiness and what's right

I hide myself under a pile of lies
So no one sees the secrets behind these immortal eyes

No one understands and they never will
Why my life is like a big long bill
I have to pay the price of living
It's myself that I am giving

Depression is what drags me under
Why can't they hear my screams I wonder
I'm screaming to you
Please help me through

There has to be more than this
Somewhere out there, there must be bliss
But until I find it I am here
In this pool of unforgiving tears.
