In the realm of shadows, where darkness takes its hold,

A poem emerges, a story yet untold.

Depression, the silent thief, creeps through the soul,

A heavy burden that takes its toll.

Verse 1:

In the depths of despair, where the light grows dim,

A battle begins, waged deep within.

The mind, a battlefield of swirling thoughts,

Where demons dance and battles are fought.

Verse 2:

A heavy cloud descends upon the weary heart,

Tears fall like rain, as hope falls apart.

A numbness takes hold, a hollow emptiness,

As sadness cloaks every moment, relentless.

Chorus:

Depression, a weight that drags us down,

A darkness that suffocates with an unyielding frown.

But amidst the pain, a glimmer still remains,

A flicker of hope, a chance to break the chains.

Verse 3:

The weight upon our shoulders, a burden hard to bear,

An invisible struggle that others may not be aware.

But know, dear soul, you're not alone,

Others have walked this path, though it may be unknown.

Verse 4:

Reach out your hand, let others lend their ear,

For compassion and understanding can help draw near.

In shared vulnerability, lies strength to heal,

To find solace in knowing that others feel.

Chorus:

Depression, a battle fought by many,

But courage can emerge from the depths uncanny.

Seek the support that can guide you through,

Hold onto the love that can help renew.

Verse 5:

In moments of darkness, look for the light,

Seek the small joys that can pierce the night.

For even in the depths, a glimmer may be found,

A reminder that hope is always around.

Verse 6:

Hold onto faith, like a lifeline strong,

In the face of despair, it will carry you along.

For within your heart, resilience resides,

A strength that can weather the darkest tides.

Chorus:

Depression, a journey we must navigate,

But in seeking help, we can alleviate.

Embrace the beauty that still graces your days,

Find solace in the love that never strays.

Bridge:

You are not defined by the battles you face,

Your worth extends far beyond any trace.

Embrace your scars, they tell of your fight,

Of resilience, courage, and your inner light.

Chorus:

Depression, an adversary we must confront,

But know that within you, there's strength to confront.

Embrace the struggle, for it shapes who you are,

And remember, dear one, you are a shining star.

Outro:

In this poem of depression's sway,

May you find solace, courage, and a brighter day.

Hold onto hope, for it will guide you through,

And remind you that within you, resilience brews.

Reach out your hand, let others be near,

For compassion and understanding can help clear,

The fog of despair, the suffocating haze,

Together we'll find brighter days.

Depression, a battle fought by many,

But strength can arise from the depths, uncanny.

Seek the support that guides you through,

Hold onto the love that helps renew.

In vulnerability, lies the strength to heal,

To share the pain, to let others feel,

The weight you carry, the scars unseen,

In unity, we'll break depression's regime.

Hold onto hope, like a lifeline tight,

In the darkest hour, it shines so bright.

For even in shadows, a sliver of light,

Can bring solace to the darkest night.

Depression, an adversary we face,

But resilience and courage can leave a trace.

Seek the beauty that surrounds your days,

Embrace the love that never decays.

You are not defined by the battles you've fought,

Your worth extends far beyond any thought.

Embrace your scars, for they tell your tale,

Of strength, resilience, and a heart that prevails.
