Poem on depression

There is a dark cloud in my mind,

Nothing shifts it so I find,

It’s heavy and black,

Which now energy I lack.

Sleep my life away,

Just to keep these symptoms at bay,

The hate for yourself inside,

This roller-coaster I must ride,

The cloud produces tears,

Makes you overthink all your fears,

Nothing can explain the emptiness inside,

Other than it feels a part of me has died.

Sleep my life away,

Just to keep these symptoms at bay,

The hate for yourself inside,

This roller-coaster I must ride,

Your laughter is so fake,

But you put it on for everyone else's sake,

The way out you must find,

You must find away to heal your mind.

Sleep my life away,

Just to keep these symptoms at bay,

The hate for yourself inside,

This roller-coaster I must ride,

Some take this pain away,

But whatever you do it still remains,

can you relate?

How do you keep depression at bay?

Sleep my life away,

Just to keep these symptoms at bay,

The hate for yourself inside,

This roller-coaster I must ride,

In time, the cloud lifts,

All the darkness seems to shift,

You can live your life again,

but it will return, the only question is when.
