Do any of you write like short stories or poetry or anything? Just wondering. I write poems sometimes as a form of stress/depression relief. And no, I’m not emo or anything, I just like to write when I get depressed.
[Here is one I wrote the other day.
So familiar these feelings that come over me
Like a drowning sensation that won’t let me breathe
Once again here I sit and slip into darkness
My whole world collapsing, I feel so heartless
Oh God, please no I beg “not again”
These feelings of hatred, sorrow and pain
But all I can do is sit here and wait
For these feelings to come, sealing my fate
My entire life, nothing but a waste
Bitterness of failure, all I can taste
I know what I want, I see it at last
To grab hold of my life and forget the past
But past and present failures control my life
Leading to self hatred and feelings of strife
Depression takes hold, throwing me to the floor
Until I have no will to fight it anymore
Staring at nothing, just a human shell
I know I’ve created this personal hell
All I have ever wanted, all I ever ask
Is for that one bit of joy just out of my grasp
So close I can smell it, but not meant to touch
That feeling I can’t have that I want so much]
