DEPRESSION

ESCAPE

I climbed into my bed, put myself into a ball

Turned my phone down so I wouldn't hear the calls

Too exhausted from crying

I know I will die if I don't keep trying

Someday it will all be over, maybe GOD can tell me why

I had to suffer so much and others seem to thrive

I tried to write some stories that seems to be of no interest

I tried to open a store online I even got turned down by Pinterest

Another day, another rat race

I have to work harder just to keep up the pace

Does depression overwhelmingly keep me in apathy?

Just to feel sadness so deep I can't fathom ever being happy

Some say to see a doctor would make me weak

I say to hold on to so much pain is not progress but bleak

I looked deep within myself of what is reality

To pursue the knowledge of someone who will professionally help me

Did I feel ashamed or even care of what others might say?

I need to have my own happiness and peace of mind instead of dreading each day

I love to tell my story to keep me off a ledge

If ever someone needs help like me who might be on edge

Weeping may endure for a night can seem an eternity

But to learn to love and laugh again the next day can bring solidarity

Depression is a real thing I had to seek help to not let it take over

Only talking about it can save me and others
