Major Depression Poem by Donna Nimmo

No one can love me when I can't feel
No one can see me because I'm not real
Life is not my friend, has never been
I continue to live, can't I ever win

I can't ever fly, I'm inprisoned to me
No one is to be blamed, I will never be free
A great dark cloud has inprisoned my
mind
I can never be free, this darkness keeps me so confined

How long can I endure this, black abyss
I put on my mask, and people can't tell there is something amiss
Sometimes I cry, that's all I can I do
I close the curtains, don't want the sun to shine through

I become frozen, paralyzed, I can't think
Like a broken down ship I begin to sink
All is cloudy in my mind, can't function at all
With these dark clouds coming, I began to withdraw

So I close the shades, not answer the phone don't want anyone around
In my house, I will stay until this emptiness is bound!

Major depression effects so many of us out there, We try counseling, it doesn't help. We go from one antidepressant to another, it might help for a little while. Your body gets used to it so your doctor tries you on another for awhile. You pray all this darkness and pain will go away. This is my way of life and has been for so many years. My prayers for all those who suffer from this heart wrenching disease.
