Treacherous emotions living deep within me
Filled with anger, pain with no gain
Yearning for satisfaction, yearning to kill
"Cut your wrists", he said, again and again.

He said his name was Depression and he was my friend,
He said he could help me feel better in the blink of an eye,
He said if i did what he said it will all come to an end,
And i will be without emotions in a place so high.

Mister depression stayed with me at all times
Filled my heart with different thoughts and limes
And then i started to consider his one time advice
Suicide

Nice lines you 've there. Yea in face of problems depression seems to be one's only friend but in truth it's not. I really can relate to this feeling. The emotions were captured well but you kept me longing for more only for you to cut it short . Keep it up.

If you're going through hard times, just know that it'll pass.

Thanks @bellazelena it's not personal though. It's only a poem for a contest. I'll appreciate your kind promotion and upvote. Thanks again.

A large percentage of African Men are living with depression and do not know this. They refuse to accept that they atimes need help from a psychologist. And the depression grows and inevitably lead to death.

Awesome write up, that’s the only advice dreppression always has “suicide” but we can always fight it back and overcome such things by cheering up knowing so well it can’t last forever.

Tough times dont last.thanks alot

Depression is a friend you should avoid in a lifetime.
