Depressing Poems

Once Upon A Time

Once Upon a time

I used to smile

I used to be happy

But it’s been a while

Once upon a time

My smile was real

Now it’s fake

And I don’t know what to feel

Once upon a time

I felt alive

Now I wear a mask

And I want to die

Once upon a time

Death was something I feared

Now I welcome it

So my mind could be clear

Once upon a time

I respected myself

But those days are gone

Pushed to the back of the shelf
