Some say it is feeling like you are trapped in a room with no way out

Others agree that you feel like a worthless piece of shit

I have heard people claim that it makes you die inside a little more each day

But it’s not just something you can hear about to understand

You have to go through it like the rest of us if you want to truly know what it is like

 

I would not wish it upon my worst enemy

Because I wanted to die everyday

But I couldn’t hurt my family

I couldn’t hurt my friends

I thought this

But then I would think

There is no one here for me

No one cares

 

It was a battle just to get through every single day

My body was present

But my heart had died

And my mind ran far away

 

I knew that I was loved my someone

Though it meant nothing to me because I couldn’t feel it

I was past the stage of sadness

I was numb

 

When I got better

I decided that I would never go to that place again

I chased after my mind

And I brought my heart back to life

I felt like I actually belonged in this world

 

I decided

I would be stronger than the depression

Braver than the loneliness

And that I would never let myself get to that place

Ever

Again
