dear life


Dear life,

It sad for me to admit

but i been lost for a long time now

 I dont know who i am

I’m afraid of losing the people i love 

I just get so stressed

so depressed

i want to shout

but there nothing to shout about

Why am i here?

Cant i just leave?

 

 

I pick at my looks

judging myself

i escape life through books

I’m not sure where my life is going to take me

im not sure if i want to carry on

I feel so detached from myself

As if I’m a ghost already 

I feel like I’m invisible to this world

im just another girl

 

I silent scream inside

pleading for help

I read to escape

escape the frustration 

the fears

To give myself the comfort i dream of

 

There is no word 

to describe this hole I’m trapped in

If i look closely to this world

there is people i would die for

people i care for

There people who care about me

The ones who know I’m not ok

can tell if I’m upset

That the only reason why I’m here

This poem is very honest and shows raw emotion... Your descriptions are an accurate portrayl of depression, know that there is help in reaching out. Books are a great source of refuge, a solace. I too, struggle but find an outlet in poetry. Keep writing!
