Depression Journey Poem by Cloe C

Depression makes my loneliness go away
It makes my problems emerge from the pitch black cold shallow water
It takes the key to my smile
But it helps me cut off bad people
I get this idea that every person is out to get me
I feel eyes staring into my bloodstream
As if they know about the promises that made me bleed
Constant whispers of how I fail to be happy
A gust of wind that rattles my heart strings
Collapses my hopes and dreams
The big bad wolf huffs and puffs and blows my happiness out
The three little pigs die of negligence
They withstood everything around them shattering in front of their eyes
They watched their glass bones shatter
Felt the paper cutting away at their skin
But for them it's better to die now than to survive
Survival is almost impossible
My self love is starved
My diagnosis go unaddressed
My sanity goes on a roller coaster
And you are only a careless traveler
Leaving trails of trash
Screaming profanity
Vandalizing my emotions
Making me regret ever trying to give people amusement
My capacity for forgiveness stretches out
The road of peace continues right as you think it'll end
This forest won't burn down in the biggest fires
I will keep walking in the biggest storm
Holding tight onto a lantern of hope
Shivering inside my jacket of doubt
Getting snowed out by my closest friends
Getting hope from any light that shines bright
