A day in the life as me

yesterday, today and tomorrow

By Kiesha’s DiaryPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

another day goes by that i have wasted

my future that i tried and painted

the outcome just created pure sadness

that after hours i was left with still a blank canvas

first sleep abandoned me and then so did my dreams

doing nothing is my full daily routine

my motivation has been drifted out of my window along with the smoke from a cigarette

sometimes i even have to get high so that my mind can forget

someone please water me, i am a flower

nearly another week where i have not had a shower

it is hard to explain

but i am tied to my bed with invisible chains

i do not even recognise myself anymore

i can no longer remember what i was even like before

back when i was free…

when i was still me

sad poetry

    This perfectly describes the darkness of depression. So painful and yet eloquently written

  • Wow very powerful. I feel like I have lost my dreams as well, not a good feeling

    I know this feeling well. It's an old friend
