Destiny-Leigh Poem: Falling Into Darkness

Depression is a hard thing to describe,

,

It takes over your life.

It can make you feel very emotional.
Angry, sad, hurt, alone, upset,
It affects you in so many ways.                                                                                   

And sometimes even suicidal.

It comes in many forms and shapes,

And is caused by various things,

It can be the worst type of pain.

When you fall deep into depression,

You start to feel numb and empty inside,
To find happiness becomes an obsession.  
                                                                                        

It’s something you have to endure,
But depression is not a weakness,
A feeling you learn to suppress.    

As more wounds open and scars are made,

You feel like your falling apart,
You try to be strong but feel very afraid.
The battle gets harder and harder to fight,           

Your mind slips further into darkness,
You no longer feel right.

                                     

But you have to stay strong,
If not for others, then for yourself,
Remember, you are not in the wrong.                                            

It will get better, i can promise you that,
There is light at the end of every tunnel,
It's waiting for you around the corner,  
Just like a sly, black cat. 

Don't fall into darkness, don't let it suck you in,
You can make it through,
Just take a deep breath and let go, like you're floating.
