Well I have no idea why but I wrote a poem. Please have a read and don’t be to harsh with me. Anyway here goes. The poem is called Depression. And by the way I’m not depressed at the moment well not too badly anyway:

Depression

The pain I feel deep down inside must never be mentioned and must hide. To talk about it is seen as wrong and that is wrong within itself.

You must not talk or speak it’s name for fear it would bring you shame. Shame must not be felt and strength from others will bring you help.

The darkness and stigma must be broken before the light can shine bright. The pain inside feels like all that is, it’s hard to fight and find the light. It’s in there somewhere dim and shadowed find it we must to disperse the pain.

Help from others is all around even though you feel like it can’t be found. Take that step and speak a word. Someone’s out there and you can be heard. They’ll lend a hand and give you strength. They’ll help you through and out of the pit.

The more you speak will make the stigma fall and fall it must before we can move on. Lend a hand and help those in need. Just by being there is an amazing deed. Deep down in darkness and through the void the light from others can help you find the path.

It may be long or it may be short but that path is there for us to tread. Follow it with pride and hold you head high, leave the void behind and no longer hide. Shine bright star light and help others along. Banish the darkness and end the stigma and please oh please remember it’s not a wall that can be stepped over it’s something we get lost it and YOU!!!! make us hide.

If we knew the way out there would be no issue don’t just stand there and handout a tissue. We need help and we need strength. Hand that out instead and don’t be dense. Be a nice person that’s all we ask. Bring in the light and get out of the past.

With love and compassion scars will be healed. We just need that bit more. Be nice an and not emotional whore. To learn how we feel you need but ask. To find the way out is what we need and not to be told we’re bringing you down. If that’s how you feel you really should go. You’re probably the reason we’re here in the first place. We banish you now from our lives begone you fiend and take the shit you brought with you.

We don’t need that and we don’t need you bye bye now dear and above all fuck you!
