Wake Up

shadowbones

Wake up I hate everything

Another day like this

Is this what you see

Do you really believe

 

I am just pretending 

This is all I know

Take it for another day

Happy faces fade away

 

I shame myself

For everything I thought

Sifting through dirt 

Finding nothing

 

You give no warning

Until this is done

Before we get up

Get away and run

    A sense of hopelessness a feeling of depression comes through in this poem. Nicely done

      Yes I deal with depression. Ups and downs. Mostly down, been like this since I was 8. Trying to die so badly because I felt so sad all the time. Something triggers me and it jumps on my back again. Thank you for reading my poems. 🙂

        You can sense the feeling of helplessness, looking for a reason for it to be a good day but knowing already that it wont be, it will just be more of the same, very relatable write to me, nicely expressed and written

        Depression is a difficult thing to deal with been coming out of a deep one now I know how difficult it is to live with that oppressive shadow just behind you. Take care and do the best you can its all anyone can in this life.
