Poems of Life (Depression, Love, Etc.)

Losing Sight

I remember when I used to crave this life,

I remember when I used to crave this light,

What is happening to me?

I'm in too deep, I'm in too deep.

I remember when I used to live life to the fullest,

I remember when I was a little girl,

What happened between now and then?

The anxiety consumed me,

I can't face my problems,

I'm too scared.

I'm now in a state of depression,

My anxiety has led to this,

I remember crying myself to sleep

Because I "wasn't good enough;"

I remember crying myself to sleep

Because I "was a disappointment;"

I remember crying myself to sleep

Because I "can't see clearly;"

I remember crying myself to sleep

Because I "would never amount to anything;"

And, now, those thoughts are permanent

As I battle them everyday, trying to live my life,

But these thoughts have got the best of me -

They are the only truth I know.

I wish I had the strength to give to the weak,

But I'm in over my head.
