"What depression feels like"
Tangled in her storm
Darkness looms upon her soul
She is left standing underneath the rainfall.
All alone.
Not a single person in sight.
Her feet are sinking into the mud.
Her eyes are turning red
She is clenching her first ready to fight this battle.
But the rain turns into thunder and her feet are sinking deeper.
She can no longer breathe.
She unclenches her fist as the darkness grows inside her.
She wants to run away, but she is stuck. She cannot move.
The lightening is getting louder, the rain is pouring harder, her soul is crumbling as she falls to her knees.
"Rain rain go away, pain pain go away come again another day. " she sings.
"Please oh please just not today." she cries. She collapses to the ground. All alone. She lays. Waiting. Waiting for the storm to pass. Hoping.

- Comment from author about the poem: A lot of people don\'t realize what depression feels like. I wrote this poem based on my own personal battle with depression to help those who may not understand the debilitating power that depression can hold on an individual\'s life.

Wow, you describe it well!.
Depression is sadly one of those things that, indeed people really can't understand unless they suffer from it! And it affects so many. There are no obvious outward symptoms but that Godforsaken terror you feel from within is like u say, debilitating!
Good news is, there is a way out.
I will dedicate my next poem to yours with a more positive twist, i hope u like, and hope u feel better soon.x
Dear justwrite, I'm excited to read your poem! Let me know when you have posted it!
I think the writing and documenting of life in general is a powerful tool for all, many people would benefit by confronting themselves head on in writing, well done and well said!
