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

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.

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.

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.
