Anxiety and Depression

A Poem about Anxiety, Depression, and Hope

By Evie ZaoraPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

Depression is a slow death.

Anxiety a burning fire.

Either one will make you forget desire...

Forget who you are, forget what you hold dear, it decreases your existence and makes you life a live of fear.

With some it's gradual, with others abrupt, either way it makes life pretty rough.

But there's no need to dwell in meaninglessness and despair; everyone knows life isn't fair.

But don't stay in your negative emotions, don't fall into despair, don't you dare!

Don't feel sorry for yourself; it can be an easy thing to do. But feeling sorry won't get you anywhere and this is very true.

Get out of that cycle, if you need learn to recycle.

Take what is good and leave the bad behind.

Believe that YOU and ONLY YOU, CAN change your behavior and your mind.

Life may not be what you want it to be.

Only the people brave enough to think they can change things actually do.

Be a brave soul, and try to see things through.

If you're in a hard situation know that change may be something that's good for you!!!

Don't be afraid to seek out help.

Everyone needs a hand one day or another.
