Description Being sad is normal.
Depression is not.
Depression is more common than people think.
Others do not understand what it feels like for the blade to be across your skin.
They do not know that black hole in your soul that eats at you.
The only way out of the black hole you see is red.
When people say "I know how you feel" you sink deeper.
Trying to bring you out only makes you dig deeper sometimes.
You feel worthless and a burden.
Depression eats at your soul until you give in.
You never know when depression will hit or what will trigger it.
Even though you can't see it the only way out is not red color but flesh color.
Color of the people who truely love you and hope to reach you in time.
No one can be forced out of depression.
No one will survive depression if left on their own.
Do not let anyone who suffers from depression suffer alone.
No matter what the person tells you.
Depression ends in red if no one cares.
Let depression end not in red but in life.

For me, it makes a lot of sense. So very true!

Hi there! I've chosen you as the 56th person for my 200 Comments Project Challenge. Basically I'm giving comments to 200 different people in a time frame within a week

You've portrayed the subject of depression in such a deep, profound and hard hitting way here. The last time I was depressed was last month and even though it lasted a few weeks it porved to be slightly difficult for me. Eventually I got over it but it kinda ruined October for me personally. I really enjoyed this poem, the meaning/messages behind your words were so easy to relate to.

I really like it, but I think in the line "No one will survive depression is left on their own" should have an "if" not an "is". Sorry if you find my comment annoying, but I think making this correction would improve the quality of your work even more.

I find that it always helps to reread a poem a few times, just to make sure it is how you want it. That's the easiest way to catch mistakes. Writing a poem is a great way to let go of repressed feelings.

Awww! Thanks so much! Now that I'm home from college, I feel like I'm doing better, sort of, but I still have bad days. It sucks; depression never really leaves you.

I can relate so well to this it's scary. Amazing job! Very poignant; more people need to be understanding and supportive, the stigma needs to stop. The horrible stigma keeps me from opening up to people about my depression.

I'm crying right now, because this hits the nail on the head as to how I'm feeling now. I've suffered from severe depression for about a year now, and I landed myself in hospital last year because of it (my story almost ended in red) At the moment, I'm trying to get help, but my doctor isn't sure whether it's a different sort of depressive disorder, such as bipolar.
But anyway, You don't need a life story Thanks so much for writing this, as it makes it much easier for me to put into words how I feel.

DavisJes In reply to reno-xxxXXXxxx [2009-02-11 05:13:26 +0000 UTC]

I AM bipolar/manic-depressive.
If you ever wanna talk send me a note here or on Yahoo IM DavisJes2005.

Thanks for reading and thanks for the fav.
Just curious, how did you find this?
