This Is Depression.. Poem by Jadeey Paris

Depression is like sinking..
The world closed in on you
You start to go down and down
Then you hit the bottom..

Only to find it's a false reality..
Yet again the ground cracks under you
You sink further down..
There's less room to breathe..

But again something happens
Causing the ground to collapse
It goes from under you letting you fall
Until you hit the bottom..

It suffocating and crushing
The weight of it all
It's hard to stand so you continue to fall

Stumbling along
Not knowing which way is which
Lost in time and space
Then bang…

Something else hits you while your down
So you curl up small
Wishing that this would just be the end of it all

Someone tells your there's a light
At the end of this dark road
They try to guide you along
Whilst you wobble back up

The dark hasn't gone but your starting to steady
Slowly it begins to feel less heavy
For now you can start to breathe
Only just…

Waiting until the next time you fall.
