Veins

Veins

Depressionโ€™s running through my veinsย 
and all I can think of is everything that pains.

I canโ€™t carry this anymoreย 
I donโ€™t know who i am holding on for?ย 

Because Iย know it ainโ€™t for meย 
if it would, I would already be free.ย 

I wonder what it feels like to be okay,ย 
without all of this on my shoulders to weigh.ย 
Without all of this sadness at the end of the day.ย 
I just need a reason to want to stay.ย 

I really want to hold on,ย 
but all I can think of is what it would be like to be gone.ย 
I donโ€™t know if I can keep on carrying this on my own.ย 

It just runs in my veinsย 
and with every day it keeps on leaving more stains.ย 

I wonder how many of them I can eraseย 
Before they find their way back to the same place.ย

" THE FUTURE, IS NOT OURS TO SEE. " It, is not pre-determined. Every day is a blank page, for you, to write upon. Why not write something positive ? Why not reach for, the stars ? To, not linger on the scars. Life, can affect you, in many ways, as you know. Let, the wealth of emotion be defined, on your terms. Not, by " The Others " ! Let, the Ray, Of Hope, shine upon you. To, make you better, for the fight. And, what is right. In, your mind. In, your body. In, your passion, of " The Spirit " ! Live, to learn. To, grow knowledge. To, make experiences work, for you. And, not for destructive forces. Intent, on bringing you down. With, wrongful effects.
Be, yourself. Spread, your wings. Be, free.

Wow, this is so heartbreaking to read. Depression is such an evil illness. I hope you can be strong enough to find reasons to look for that glimmer of happiness that can better your outlook on things. Hugs x

Wow such a powerful dark emotional piece of writing on mental illness which I can completely relate to. Writing it down is the best way to express those feelings. I hope that you are in a better place now than when you wrote this. I wrote a short piece called "our mind" posted on here as our mind is the main factor deciding our fate in which direction we take. Wonderful writing from the heart. Liked and โญ !! P x
