Depression Sonnet

This is a poem I wrote early into my treatment in the hospital. It is a sonnet. It help me express my feelings early when I was dealing with the demons. If anyone out there sees this and is suffering in silence. Start writing. It helps. There is no opinions, judgement, or comments you don't want to hear. Writing, along with with support helped me out of some dark spots.

Depression Sonnet by T.J. Smith

Its hurts so much, but I feel no pain

My Thoughts are dark, my life it may claim

I go through my days just trying to survive

It has been so long since I felt alive

Nights are worst; just my thoughts and I

So deep and frightening, it makes me cry

I have hopes, the future is unclear

Waking up tomorrow is my greatest fear

Everyone tells me all will be good

I wish I could believe them, I wish I could

Trying to live life one minute at a time

Truly is a battle, an upward climb

This disease has cost me a lot

It's only one thing left it hasn't got
