Depression Poem I found somewhere

Dealing With Depression

Have you ever felt so helpless,
you did not know what to do?
Has your life become a burden,
where you’ve had enough of you?

Has your anger got the best of you,
from daily irritation?
Have you thought of desperate measures
that would end your aggravation?

Do you want to change? To feel fulfilled,
but really not sure how?
Are you patient in your wait for it.
Like me, do you want it now?

Has the smile you had, as a younger soul,
been taken from your face?
Are your thoughts so low, that you truly feel,
you are taking up valuable space?

Do you want to cry but the tears won’t flow.
Instead you are filling with rage?
Does the anger fly at the slightest things?
Is it something you often engage?

Does it leave the regret, that it usually does?
To those with a conscience, at least?
Do you wish, that you had it in better control?
More so, do you wish it was ceased?

If so, I know your feelings!
I, myself, have felt those ways.
I feel a whole lot better, now.
I still have dreary days.

They’re nothing like they use to be.
It almost feels too strange.
If you’ve dealt with dark depression,
then you know how that can change.

The lack of inspiration!
The fatigue and worried mind!
The elusiveness of happy,
that, it seems, you cannot find!

The vacancy of hopefulness,
refusing to be shed.
The dark, dark thoughts of dying.
or of living full of dread!

I hope it makes u feel ppl understand what ur going through.. If I could explain my feelings when depressed they would be much more scary than that.

A Prayer

Why Have You Forsaken Me

Father, God, I’m mad at thee.
For letting this go on with me.
Where’s the peace and where’s the joy?
Why’d you even send your boy?

To save the world. I’ve got bad news.
If he had come to pay my dues,
Then why is it, I’m paying them.
Perhaps he’s just delaying them.

To see how much that I can take,
Before I bend and finally break.
My load is great. I feel the strain.
My sin you’ve took, now take my pain.

Send me please a hopeful sign.
To ease this growing doubt of mine.
Let me know that you are there.
Answer, please, this desperate prayer.

Good works; it is hard to put how your depression makes you feel into words. There is just so much involved. Thanks for sharing.
