Hi all,
My name is Chanae. I'm actually here for a good reason. I've known about these types of websites but never really looked into them properly. So, I've been writing poems based on depression and other subjects. I shared two with a friend and she advised me to share it with the beyondblue community forums. So, I'm hoping this isn't offensive in any way and others can read and/or relate to what I've written. I hope you all enjoy!
It's okay to feel down
Everyone has those days
The feeling won't last forever
It eventually goes away.
All the feelings inside
Are slowly tearing apart
You want it all to go away
But this is where you start.
It all feels so slow now
Waking up knowing what to expect
You start losing interest in things
And slowly start to neglect.
You're always isolating yourself
To hide from the world
Shutting all rays of light out
Huddled in a ball, motionless, torn, and curled.
You wonder all the questions
Why this exists? Why it happens?
Small talk with everyone around
Your heart feels almost flattened.
Your happiness, hobbies and friends
Eventually becomes an old memory
Your body feels weak and drained
Sucking out all your energy.
Is this my now, future and forever?
Feeling alone, depressed, and dark?
I really try for happiness
I get nothing, not even a spark.
