Tears Weep within my Soul
Tears Weep within my Soul
My mind adrift, yet not wandering free
Vague memories, dark thoughts, utter despair
Unwanted images come rushing in
As tears weep within my soul
My mind adrift in a wave of doom
Fettered like the tides to the moon
As much as I try to put barriers in place
They come tumbling down in haste
My purpose, my being, the reason Iâm here
Has left me forever, thatâs what I fear
Discombobulated is my mindâs state
From moods of helplessness to feeling irate
The darkness enshrouds me like a sea roke
As my chest tightens and I begin to choke
Inside my head is like an empty shell
Indwelled with demons straight from hell
Marking time like a mouse on a wheel
Each day that passes is the same as the last
The world I live in is as dull as itâs grey
Having nothing to do, hence nothing to say
None of my friends call on me anymore
They petered out like a withering flame
The only person who knocks on the door
Is the postman to ask me to sign my name
Iâve tried the medication and the CBT
Yet nothing appears to agree with me
So I slowly drift through a life not my own
As I suffer in silence, completely alone

Nice write Peter, could feel the frustration and sadness :)
Thank you Evrod, cool name by the way
Thank you so much for your kind words Angel. I was actually crying inside whilst writing that one. Depression is not something you can share verbally; it just gets others down, but being able express your feelings on paper really can help.
I can completely relate to your poem. "Discombobulated is my mind's state, From moods of helplessness to feeling irate" That is my favorite part. In those 2 lines you really summed up what it's like to be depressed. I really like this.Â
Thank you Krystal. It means alot to me that others can relate. There are times when you think you are the only one on the planet suffering with depression. As for the word depression, I consider it so innocuous. Surely out of a million words in the English language, there has got to be a more fitting word. Â Â
i relate a lot to this and your right the word depression is a one -mood word ,but with different paths off it .everything you said is true . feelings go up then down sometimes badly and i dont think people truly understand the frustrating  annoyance of it .  sometimes getting called a little crazy because of feeling down then irate .  great piece peter !!!  keep the strength  rising!!   tina x
Thank you Tina. I now realise there must be an innumerable number of people suffering with broken minds. It's so not fair that many suffer in silence for the fear of being shunned or labelled crazy. There shouldn't be a stigma in this day and age. The thing is 'depression' knows no discrimination, affecting people right across the status spectrum.  Once this stigma ends, people suffering with 'depression' may be able adjust and once again share their wonderful array of strengths with society.Â
