Soul

Trev

I wake up, ready to die
But every night, I fall asleep wanting to stay alive.
On this depression, my soul does not thrive.
With this expression, I hope to revive.

I have beauty all around me
Every animal, person and tree
so why do I feel this degree?
I know it is not forever, only a small life fee.

I have had to make sacrifices 
To rid all of my bad vices
This illusion is not real
So I can not bend during this crisis.

One day I'll make you proud
Not here to see it, but your presence is loud
You keep me driven, you keep me humble
So I know one day, I'll wake up and this depression will crumble.

        I know depression effects everyone, and everyone deals with it differently. I view this as my way to get it out, and it is the only thing that truly helps. So I really appreciate that, Thank you.

            Depression is such a heavy burden, that twists and distorts your thoughts and emotions. Great post. Thank you for sharing.

              "This illusion is not real, So I have to bend during this crisis." This part of your poem really spoke to me. I am constantly reminding myself as I struggle with depression that it isn't real if I don't let it get me down. I am on my way to enlightenment. I see that through expression, you are too! Great poem! Very real. Welcome to the site!

              • Trev

                Thank you, I really appreciate that. I've just struggled with it for so long, writing is the only way I can get out. I know depression is everyone's burden. My goal is to write what people can relate to lol. So I'm glad I did that.

                • MaddieJ

                    Thank you man, I appreciate that. I write this stuff from a point of view that I've always had, and how I feel about it. It does make me feel a lot better to write it, and that's what I hope to make a career out of. So thank you again.
