On my own

 

Sadness

Hopelessness

Defeat

 

My life

My emotions

 

Anger blinds me

Sadness engulfs me

Depression surrounds me

 

Trapped in this world of mine

No escape

No hope

No life

 

This feeling

This weight

All to heavy for my shoulders

 

Wrists aching

Dizzy head

Heavy heart

 

No help from you

No kindness from you

Nothing at all

 

Can I blame you?

You don’t know, do you?

 

To you I am happy

To you I am normal

To you I show my mask

 

No one

Know the true me

Knows how I feel

Knows how I really am

No one

 

I am alone

Handling this alone

In my depression

On my own

[Kenneth The Poet]

Interesting piece.

[George Love]

Depression suffered in many ways and you capture them very well here. Great effort, well written!

[Jools]

You show clearly the mainy signs of depression and how often those who suffer where a mask. But deep inside they carry that heavy weight.
I truly resonate with these emotions.

This poem is sad, but you capture the yearning for help and how so lost a person is when they are depressed. Nicely done!

[Mary Fioratti]

In this poem, I felt like you went down the deepest. I guess that everybody feels this way and interesting that there are times in life that we feel totally alone...even surrounded by people...and also, we feel that nobody can understand our pain. Sometimes we do not want to talk about, because we feel that nobody could understand us.
Poem very real, Tanaya.

Very descending piece. Dark in a sense. Well done.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

This was written with great emtional feelings of despair! In alot of cases people who are depressed put on a front in front of people, maybe because they don't know what is wrong themselves so they don't want to be bothered with questions. some let their depression be know, unable to hide it, like me! I've been through it and it is an aweful place to be! Excellent writeing!
