Depression Poem by Madi Rogers

depression has killed my everything i love.
It has killed shawn.
his heart may still be beating,
but shawn is no longer in there.
It's just the shell of what used to be the person i could love and trust.
he uses weed to get him up faster,
even though it even though it makes him fall down harder.

It has killed jessica.
She no longer wants to live.
She's just the image of a little girl who used to be happy.
She uses weed to hide her feelings.
she uses pills to help her forget the world.

It has killed julie.
A little kid stuck in a 13 year olds body.
She's now surrounded by all these broken people.
I hope she never EVER ends up like us.
I want...
no NEED her to stay happy.

It has killed me.
dead inside,
but smiling on the outside.
The only person i truly despise.
I use razors and knives to numb the pain.
to remind myself that bleeding is what i deserve.

depression takes over so easily.
depression has killed my everything.
