Depression Has Ended

poem by: Amia Jorge
Written on May 04, 2016

Why did this happen? 
Why did it happen to you is the issue  
Depression has happened 
It crept up and unmasked itself as your eyes started to dampen 

It could've happened to him or her  
It is like you are on a path for disaster 
Others' opinions are your masters 
Your heart feels like it doesn't matter   

You try to run away from the feelings of depression 
That's just how it gets stronger 
You are now its possession 
You are not your own master  

You wouldn't dare to look depression in the eye 
You did once and then his friends sadness and rage made you want to die 
You want to look up 
But you are afraid that you will just be dropped down again into the dump 

Freedom calls from the other side 
To its walls you want to abide 
Freedom is a place that will let anyone in  
As long that they have conquered their fears and have thrown them in the bin 
 
You want to go and hide from depression and even from your own self 
But depression scares you as a whole 
You try to sneak by it like an underground mole 
Depression stomps you to near death and your heart is left with a hole 

You realize what you have to do 
Throw away your chains and get rid of your boundaries 
When Depression comes, don't answer its inquiries 
You just have to move 

You knock on freedom's doors and they are opened wide 
Here for the rest of your life you will hopefully abide 
Your heart has mended 
And depression has ended

This is a lovely poem well written with depth. Depression is a problem big time.all over the world It shows its face in all shapes and forms. On a positive it can be beat on.

Curious timing but a subject well known by the majority! I found it quite real.
commented:
Depression is all too real within our minds and yet full of lies. Dreadful to deal with overall. 😞 Expressing one's self in poetry does provide some relief.
Q. Ramirez commented:
I have read all your poems and found then to be intriguing. Poets express what they see and feel and you write a good view of yourself. 'Mirror' reminds me of my untitled work. You are a strong person, like your poetry. Good works.
