If depression has done nothing else

It has made me a great writer

Just no one else seems to know

I stay far too close to myself

Not even my s/o really knows me

That’s his fault though

All I needed was a hug

You told me to shut up

We’re def not on the same page

Cuz how you mad that I’m hurting??!!

I just have to accept that there is no me left for me in this life.

No one to care like I do

We’re told to treat people the way we want to be treated.

Where is my reciprocation?

The universe must have me on hold

And surely there is no God

Maybe one day I’ll catch this body that I keep trying to keep upright

Until then, another page turned

sad poetry

About the Creator

Moni Staxx

I write through my emotions. Each poem is an excerpt from the moment in time I’m existing in at the time of writing.

My short stories reflect past observances, insights, and imaginative reflections on situations.
