Depression feels like.........

Depression feels like
      lack of sleep
   feels like
      no hope
   feels like
      hate
   feels like
      isolation

Depression feels like
      failure
   feels like
      loneliness
   feels like
      you can’t catch a thought
   feels like
      stupidity

It is unpredictable
   it is tears for no reason
      sadness when things should
         be happy

It is suffocating
   and overwhelming

It is wanting to end this
   poem on a positive note
      but not being able to
         find one
   wanting to encourage
      but needing encouraged
         yourself
   wanting to help others
      find hope but
         feeling hopeless
            yourself
   wanting to be an uplifter
      but having nothing
         else to give.

Depression is destruction
