Pushing Through









Smoking my friends down to the filter,
drinking my problems and solutions away.
Depression taking over my body in shadows,
praying to get through another day.







Author notes

I try not to make too many dark poems, as there are too many and they're continuously boring and the same. So I made mine short and sweet.

    i think you have nailed it with this short piece, many can relate to the sitting with a fag(cigarette)in one hand and a glass of wine in the other wishing it would all go away. there is no need to get flowery with words as this proves saying it as it is works just as well. great write

    well worded

    This may be short but it's full of sadness. It shows a depth of pain felt by many. Well written. I like the analagy of depression being like shadows that take over, because like shadows depression can be felt at varying darknesses.

    The first poem in a long while that I've read that seems to have truth for the author behind it.
