The Year I reached out for Depression
2016.
The year I graduated Highschool.
The year I start college.
2016 was going to be my year.
Oh how life decides to shake things up
I went to get help in the summer of sixteen
but all I got in return was hives all over my body
Pill after pill
Steriod after steriod
2016 how could you do this to me?
Another pill
Another side effect
I thought I'd be happy!
I thought I'd get help!
Opportunites lost
life moves on
Six months later, will I make it on my own?
2017.. I move away
With a new mind set
And being grateful for each day.
This poem is about:
Me
My community
My country
