Description
If I could sketch a suicide,I would draw my own demise.
Success is for the hard of mind,
hard of hand and hard of passion.
I wallow the same way
that I’ve wallowed for years,
that I’m never good enough,
the same way anyone does.
If being depressed by my thoughts,
if being oppressed by my apathy
makes me a cliché,
Then call me Cliché
If I could sketch a suicide,
I’d draw for myself a demise.

This is great.
I've been suffering with depression lately as well. I've seen a number of counsellors, but I seem to get nothing out of it.

I find counsellors don't help with depression. Usually depression is an issue pressed against yourself, so you know full well what is going on. As counsellors try and uproot a problem, this can come across as patronising, which is why it is more appropriate therapy for people with repressed problems. Does that ring true to you?

Every single word of it 'rings true' in my ears.
I have tried everything... except anti-depressants, which are not an option for me.
I'm working on it anyhow. Despite all the terrible things, there are many good in my life. Sometimes though, the bad outweighs the good by an astonishing margin.

if the good outweighed the bad by any sort of margin, it would no longer be "life"...

For no apparent reason I love the title and the ending.
It's very poignant.

"It's very poignant."
I'd say that's a fairly apparent reason, myself, hehe.
