Summary
POEM 1: DEPRESSION AND STRESS Another day of being in the darkest hole on earth while standing at the top of the mountain for all to see I call it brown and blue It feels like my heart is breaking ever since I was little, I was sad ever since I was a child, I didn't know the bright colours of life I just kept guessing on how I should act Another day of ‘I just want to be happy’ But why is it so hard that these emotions blindness are draining me up I bite the chill every time they arise And I freeze over in coldness Is there nobody to save me? Today, I try again to search for something to make me feel it I go out and walk to a park I thought everything will change But, once again, I am let down It’s like a knife cutting through my tiny sliver of hope What else do I have to do? This ground is getting heavier I just want to die because of this bleakness Just tell me honestly if there is a way out? I want to know a better life without depression and stress numbing and vacuuming all my feelings away So I go to sleep hoping for a better day, again I cannot miss what I never felt; happiness But will it come to my address on Christmas…?
