Depression
The void? The darkness?
How long does it last?
My normal life seems way back in the past.
I shout, I cry and then I scream,
Is my normal life really just a dream?
How do I cope? What do I do?
No one knows what I'm going through.
My family and friends don't understand whyÂ
I shout and scream and then breakdown and cry.
"Take the tablets", is what they say, -
'You'll feel better tomorrow or the next day".
Tomorrow comes and I still feel sad,
I'm starting to think that I'm going mad,
I need some help and I need it quick,
The panic's set in and I'm feeling sick.
The family's come home and they need to be fed
But I just want to go back to my bed.
At my empty life I ponder, then cry,
I feel so alone, I just want to die.
The void? The darkness?
How long does it last?
Well, it's taken some years but it's now in the past.

lots of mirror feelings -- your not alone
well written thanks
Amazingly spot on description of depression. I'm at a loss for words on what to say. My family has a large history of depression, my dad especially and myself at times also(not nearly as severe), but this is just so accurate as to what he goes through at times. It puts me in the shoes or rather the mind of someone having to deal with depression day to day. Extremely well written, I look forward to more works from you!

Thank you so much for your comment. Â I suffered depression for many years and turned to writing down my feelings as a way of escaping them. Â Maybe your father would find it helpful to write down how he's feeling. I hope he can see a way forward as I did. Â Best wishes to your family.
