Depression Poem by Nicole Guess

DEPRESSION...
It lurks in the corners of your mind
In the deep serenity
Of the unknown

Just when you feel down
It spreads
Like a parasite
It slowly
Changes your thoughts
Your hunger
Your needs
Till you become dependent on its thoughts
Till you need it
To think for you

We all have felt it
The thoughts
The feeling of emptiness
The hole
That seems to never fill

So few of us act on the thoughts
But we all have heard it
The Whispering
Filling our misery
Or ending it


To bare it
The easier route
Or the harder one
Which to chose?

I shall chose life
Versus ending me

Now you decide
For you are the one who holds
The key
The answers
The filling to the hole
But only you can decide

DEPRESSION…..
Your life
Your decision
