Life with Depression

I’m at a turning point today

Like I am standing on a cliff, being pulled every which way

Life wants me to listen to what it has to say

but it never stops to consider if I’m ok

 

I just want to jump some days

off into the haze

Watch my worries fade

instead of persistently invade

Life likes to says it’s just a phase

It wants to convince me I’m ok 

 

But life also acts like I am the one who is unforgivable

It doesn’t realize the things I can handle are minimal

It’s disappointment is visible

making some days seem unlivable

 

Yet life continues to put my soul in question

as it makes numerous suggestions

But I can’t move in every direction

I’m no exception

You can see my regression

I am …
