There is sadness in my heart, in my soul

There is an endless yearning to be whole

I feel so desolate when everything seems fine

I break down crying most of the time

Friends and family ask why it is this way

I respond with a shrug having nothing to say

My life seems in perfect order to those who look

But I write my feelings and thoughts in a book

If I let any one read what I had put in there

They would understand this constant despair

I thought I could figure out why I am like this

But that is just the way it has been and is !

I know that I need to talk to others like me

They, alone, can restore my faith in reality !

Hi Poet/Honorable A.O.M

After the greetings,

Your above poem refers, I wish to appreciated and feature this via my POET'S PEN with your kind permission

Depression can show the way to emotional and physical troubles. Typically, people with depression find it hard to go about their day-to-day activities, and may also feel that life is not worth living. Gloominess, also known as major depression, clinical depression or major depressive disorder is a medical illness that causes a constant feeling of sadness and lack of interest. Depression affects how the person feels, behaves and thinks.

This can lead to emotional and physical problems. Typically, people with depression find it hard to go about their day-to-day activities, and may also feel that life is not worth living. I liked the below lines

My life seems in perfect order to those who look

But I write my feelings and thoughts in a book

If I let any one read what I had put in there

They would understand this constant despair
