Depression

Today I feel so hollow

The depression it hits me hard

There is no thought

There is no action

That makes me feel this way

It is just a feeling that I live with

Every single day

Sometimes I forget

Until I sit still

Then I realize that this depression

It is real

There is no specific reason

For the way I feel

I sit here alone in silence

Hoping this feeling will end

This is when I try to escape

This is when I pretend

  1. I deeply appreciate how forthright you are about depression. I also love your addendum to this, poetry is often born out of the moment but not written in the moment. Your self-awareness is a beautiful thing. I wish you peace and wellbeing and I look forward to more of your writing! CG
