...See more Another poem I wrote! Have you ever felt so lost, so out of place!! Ever looked in the mirror and couldn't stand the reflection of your own face!! Have you ever been so full of self hate!! That the the thought of death didnt seem like such a horrible fate! You just feel so emotionally broke!! That you wouldn't care if you just fell asleep and never woke!! But you try to keep going, you try to keep pushing on!! Hoping that tomorrow all these feelings will just be gone!! People ask if you are okay!! "I'm fine" is what you choose to say!! You force a smile with a strain!! Trying so hard to hide all your pain!! But you fall apart when you think no one is near!! As you start to cry hoping no one will hear!! All you want is for the pain to end!! To actually be happy and to not just have to pretend!! You want to change but you always end up right back here!! Surrounded by darkness and all of your fear!! Fear that your self destructive thoughts will take over and win!! Fear that this time you wont get a second chance again!! Each day in the back of your mind you wonder!! Is this the day that will break you and pull you under!! your trying so hard to stay strong!! But you feel so weak from holding on soo long! You feel yourself starting to slip!! You feel yourself starting to lose your grip! You want someone to come to your rescue! You want someone to come and save you!! But You are the only one who can win this fight!! You are the only one that can make things right!! Everything youve been through will only make you stronger!! You just have to hold on a little longer!! You have to learn to love every little flaw, every little scar!! You have to learn to love who you are!! I promise you my friend!!! It will all be worth it in the end!!!

...See more Poem I wrote about depression. What is depression!??! Depression is more then just feeling sad!! Depression is more then just feeling a little bit bad!! Depression is, not wanting to get out of bed!! Depression is, not being able to escape all the thoughts in your head!! Depression is feeling overwhelmed, hopeless and alone!! Depression is feeling worthless, cause you can barely make it through the day on your own!! Depression is barely getting sleep, barely being able to eat! Its this helpless feeling of defeat!! Depression is a deep dark hole!! Depression is something you cant control! Every time you think its gone!! Every time you think you can finally move on!! It finds its way back and proves you wrong! Your just so tired of feeling this way!! Your tired of fighting this depression every day!! But it seems like this depression is a never ending war!! So you start to feel like you just dont want to live any more!!! Your just so tired of feeling stuck in this endless cycle!! Your just so tired and your starting to feel suicidal!! This is when you finally realize you need someone to help you!! this is when you finally realize you need help or you make it through!!! So,to answer your question!! This my friend is depression!!

Poem I wrote
Alcohol & Drug Addiction Support / by Armywife010908

...See more I have a disease, it called an addiction!! And no, it's not just a made up condition!! I live with it every day!! Trying to hold it back, trying to keep it at bay!! This addiction I have is alcohol!! And with me, there is no such thing as last call!! Once I start drinking I can't seem to stop!! I'll keep drinking down to the very last drop!! Addiction affects the way you think!! It trys to make me believe i want or need a drink!! But that's a mistake I cant afford to make!! I have too much to lose too much at stake!! I'm constantly living in fear afraid I will fall!! What if I mess up what if I lose it all!!! But one day at a time is what they say!! Dont worry about tomorrow just make It through today!! So every morning I choose to stay sober!! And tomorrow is always a new day to star over!! Those days will turn into weeks and weeks into years!!! But the threat of relapse never disappears!!! So I cant ever forget!! I cant ever be afraid to admit!! I am an alcoholic!! I can not drink!!!!! No matter what my mind trys to make me believe or think!! CMB
