Hope for a depressed life

Many may think you are just unhappy
When you are actually depressed
They will say it's not serious
Until you suicide.
"What is there to be depressed about?" They'll laugh
If only it could be described with words
It's not just one reason you think
But an unbearable pain inside you.

Some take it out on others,
And others on themselves
No one will understand your pain
Except for your own soul.
There will be few things that'll make you content
And sometimes there won't.
The happiness you find in small things
Is the best you would have
To light up your life
And give a little hope.

Others won't understand
Your feelings or emotions
And sometimes you won't either.
There may be numerous reasons
Like loosing your loved ones,
Being invisible or unrecognized,
Feeling you are not worth,
Or regretting what you neglected.
Either way there will be more than these
And what you believe.

You may wonder what's the point of living
When nothing goes on your way.
Indeed life is more than what you think.
It's a cycle going in circles,
A never ending saga.
It doesn't end with death
It just ends your one life
And next you'll be born again
Maybe a life even worse
As your own actions create your destiny.

Depression may kill some,
And creates a begining for others.
It impacts each of us differently
And differently we take it.
"How bad did it hurt?" They'd ask
"Bad enough to make me a poet" I replied.
If anyone knows how much it hurts
It's the ones who face it.

You look at others and see the contrast
"How can they have so much energy" you feel
Whilst they are optimistic you are pessimistic.
When you don't enjoy what others does
You just want to be alone and drown in your own thoughts.
Just me sitting in a corner minding my own business
"How strange she is?" They'll wonder
"Yes I may be strange but I'm unique in my own way".
Don't let others judge you
As your actions define your own creation,
Your mistakes had taught you lessons
And formed the person you are today.

Move on and perceive your way to life,
Discover what and who makes you content
Then engage with them.
Don't try to end your life.
Have hope for another day,
And continue this process
Until you finally feel like living,
Then continue to live your life
Because you won't suffer forever.
You will find peace in your life
So live your life as it is worth living.

You will find peace in your lifeSo live your life as it is worth living
