Lovely poetry About Depression

when the walls came down

I know its hard

Im not going to sit here

and lie and say

no dont worry it gets easier

because maybe it does

maybe it doesnt

i wouldnt know

im still battling every single day

but at least i can say

im fighting

i know this is really difficult

and i understand how you want to give up

but giving up

where is that going to lead

you are going to be sitting up in the sky

watching all your friends get married

maybe your little brother does too

and you wont be there for that

because you decided

you didnt want to fight anymore

i get it

when you say that you are tired

because i am too

but if you give up now

how are you going to get the rewards

later on in life

you have everything to lose

it may seem hard now

and i understand

i know

ive felt the same exact way before

and the sad thing is

i went as far as to swallowing all those pills

and it makes me sad now

to know i was so distraught by life

that i attempted to take my own life

but the thing is

battles never end

especially ones that are inside of you

depression is like a virus

it never really goes away

its always there

and when it lies dormant

it stills exists

and when it explodes and you feel

like you just cant go on

you have to remember

everything you have to live for

it sounds kind of stupid

yea i know

but this is how i made it

i turned my old negative thoughts

into new positive ones

because i was so tired

of living the way i was living

i was so tired

of staying in bed all day because

i was too depressed to move

i survived

and it wasnt just because of medicine

because medicine does 50%

you do the other 50%

you do it by waking up in the morning

looking in a mirror

and saying

you look good today

its going to be a good day

and it is really hard the first couple of times

and i know from experience

but once you get in the right mindset

you can do it

you can survive depression

dont be a number in a statistic

be the one to rise above

and make sure the numbers

are one lower

i believe in you

because you can do it
