Depression is a major issue that many people face. Depression can cause physical and mental issues to a person. A lot of people don’t take depression seriously. Some people think it is just a temporary feeling. A feeling that will go away “eventually”. My depression lasted for years. Sometimes I feel it creeping back up, but then I attempt to keep myself busy by writing. Writing has really helped with my depression.
This is a song/poem I wrote a few years ago that is themed around depressions and the things people do to “temporarily” alleviate it:
Getting ready to take flight
Bottles straight to the head, I just might
Wanna get high, like a kite
So roll me a blunt and pass me the light
Ciroc, white
Yeah, that’s right
Like Kendrick say,
Don’t kill my vibe tonight
So I’m doing this solo
Since you only live once, YOLO
Might fall in love with that coco
Super crazy, Loco
Might pop one of them XO’s
Go pass my limit, overdose
Time travel, coast to coast
Thoughts in my head on overload
Anxiety and depression
premonition and stressing
Truth be told, confessing
But I still hide, suppressing
Addressing, expressing
Change subjects, digressing
Moving forward, progressing
But I hold on, obsessing.
If you are ever feeling depressed, please seek help. Nothing is worse than keeping your emotions bottled up. You are not in this alone.
Love this! I definitely battle with depression but I’ve been testing out different outlets to help me through. Also finally talked to my doctor about it. So I’m contemplating therapy just to help nudge me into a better positive track. We definitely are not alone and I’m so glad more and more people are talking about it So people are more likely to seek help as they need it.

I went through depression while struggling with my eating disorder & I admit that even though I can better manage it now, it sometimes gets a little hard to not let it take over my well being. I still struggle sometimes but I choose not to let it consume me cause I do know I deserve happiness. We all do. Thank you so much for sharing your poem, you’ve described the feeling so perfectly.
