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…?
