This is just a poem I wrote. We are doing a lot of studying of poetry in English class, so I got inspired. This is based on one of my friends who went into depression. They are good now though! :)
Sometimes life gets hard,
Harder than you could imagine.
Nothing is getting better.
Nothing ever will.
Nothing makes you happy.
Everyone hates you.
No one loves you.
People would be happier if you died.
I tell these things to myself,
I know they are true.
It makes the pain worse,
But at least I say that’s true.
I don’t deny it.
I try to make myself happy,
I tell myself lies,
I realize that all the lies will never be true,
I only end up sadder.
I wonder why I ever lived.
I wonder why I was born.
This resulted in suicidal thoughts.
I was in too much pain,
More than I could bear.
I attempted…
I failed.
Every attempt failed…
I gave up.
People tried to help,
But they didn’t know how.
They didn’t know what it was like,
They were popular and loved,
They didn’t understand.
They should give up.
They need to.
It doesn’t help.
They make things worse.
I know I will never be like them.
I will always be a fly on the wall.
No one ever cares about me.
I’m all alone in this messed up world.
Someone save me.
I can’t get over this depression.
