Depression
Living with depression isn't what most people think, I could be smiling but still on the brink
I can feel the pain flow through my brain to my stomach, it's like being kicked in the gut and not being able to run from it
Do you know what it's like fighting yourself at night when you know sleep won't be coming your way, I do because this brain of mine has been knocking me all damn day
I'm not an angry type of guy but I just need to vent, I'm not mad at you no that's not what I meant, sometimes I think luck has already been spent
I put music on and begin to lose myself, I then stop feeling like I'm a lost cause, I forget that I suffer with mental health
'You'll be fine" or 'man up" is what they tell me too do, I guess if the shoe fits you should wear it too?
I hope and pray that depression and anxiety don't collide, because I'm yet to find a person who'll listen to every bit of pain I have inside, if you're suffering too I just hope you're holding on tight.

This is what depression is like, you depicted it perfectly. I haven't been able to fall asleep on my own for the past 6 years without medication or else I'll be up all night and the next day and only fall asleep once I'm about to collapse.
Sometimes it's the people who smile the most who are the most torn up inside. That's how I am, happy as a clam, but I never stop worrying or I always have doubts then some days I'm just sad and want to curl up in a ball and detach from the world.
Some people take mental health problems for granted and think we just imagine such things but with a family riddled with it, it's not just an illusion to make excuse. Great write, pinned and all stars :)

Thank you, I suffer with depression and agoraphobia, I find it hard to express myself so I put what I feel into a poem in hope I'll inspire someone to speak up and be of some help, mental health is often put aside and that's why many feel like keeping it hidden, I'm trying to remove the stigma! I appreciate what you said Lily Xx
