Live in the moment 

cherish everything

How do I do this?

If everything is

     Heavy. 


The weight of the world 

Too much to carry 

A chore to wake up 

I´m driving myself 

     Crazy.


Tired when awake 

Bags under my eyes

Tears cloud my vision 

I can only feel so 

     Empty. 


Dreading the morning 

When I rise again 

If only they knew 

My mind wasn´t so

      Steady. 


The author's comments:

I took my own experiences with depression and some other people's outlook on depression and wrote how it feels to be depressed. I wanted this poem to show the frustration that comes with battling depression alone.
