Depression of a Rejected Soul

To be honest, I do not like this poem but I "suffer" from depression and other mental "disorders" and poetry is a way to escape. Maybe others will relate to this, maybe not.

There are days when I want to stop.

Some days I want to run.

Other days I want to sob.

The hours when I desire to die.

The sadness of oppression, stains the beating heart.

The sadness of rejection, traumatization of the very soul.

The sadness of domination; restraining the entrance withholding the growth.

When you desire to be heard…

Depression is swimming in silt.

Depression is running through quick sand.

Depression is a heavy hand pressing you under.

When all you want is to be dead…

The days are of heavy heart.

The days allow you to fall apart.

Thus far the days are a collection of scars.

Thus far the days are building, stressful and far.

Author's Note

I know this poem is awful, I'm open to suggestions.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. This is my least favorite poem that I have written so far, but I have depression from time to time and lately poetry has really helped to ease the pain.

Poetry does help the mind. Good to release bad thoughts to paper and you are welcome.

It is not awful but I can understand it feels awful to you because you live it. You feel powerless in the face of depression. And the outside world does not understand.
