Depression

poem by: Rebecca Xilion
Written on Nov 06, 2016

The burning stake is in my heart
and I can't help feeling it fall apart 

I want this to end.
I'm not so sad,
I just want my spirit
my feeling and motivation back

It's not for anyone but myself 
my journey is painful
but I can't be someone else

Is it strength to not kill yourself when you feel like dying?
or is it depressing to know you can't even try? 
I feel like it won't work if I do 
But time and time again
I realize
It won't work
because I really don't want it to.

All your poems speak of sadness and death, depression is a scourge, but you find comfort in your writing and I hope you continue because you are very talented.
Robin Lucas commented:
This really spoke to me, on a level that is hard for most things to. Great work. I very much enjoyed this. Even though overall it is very dark, something about that last line really sticks as a small light at the end of the tunnel.
Christopher Russon commented:
Good poem like all your other poems.
