My Depression, a Poem
I have been corrupted by my dreams
They lead me down paths that have no ending
My heart continues breaking without mending
As I dream a dream of a better future
Something wishes won't make come true.
The dreams are all about me failing
I want to be a success, dreams come true
But somewhere I lost myself, who?
Whom am I if I am not the me I was
I can't find myself again in all that was lost.
Depression takes away my creative thought
It kills my dreams and my hopes of winning
Something that kept me going in the beginning
Now I am nothing, no one
Now I am just a failure going no where.
I try not to let the pain show
But it seeps through the cracks that are dry
It slips like tears out of my eyes while I cry
Giving up is something I won't do
But that doesn't mean I am happy.
