'I can't go no where' is a precisely apt way to put it. While a grammarian might flinch at your use of a double neagative, depression is not a grammar issue. Even though it pins you down, I have found, as it seems you have too, writing it down is a way of pushing back. Keep 'pushing' with your poems for yourself and for all the rest of us 'pushers.' You are proof that one can use first person and need not retreat to an abstract imaginary third person to write a good poem.
