Poems for Depression

Its that feeling of drowning

Drowning in nothing

Drowning in tiredness

Drowning in loss of self

Being alone in a crowd

FINALLY,

Understanding that it's possible

Possible to swallow

That bottle

Of pills

Of alcohol

Of razors

Of cleaning fluid

Of acid

The pain

You can't escape

It's inside you

The darkness

It's inside you

The sadness

It's inside you

Every day

Everywhere

That's depression

Ladies and gentlemen

It's not a "just get over it" thing

It's a struggle

It's a story

And one day I will be a conqueror
