And will it be part of me forever???

You asked me if it’ll be part of me forever
And I replied yes, of course thinking about it first
Will it really be there forever and always?
And how will I cope, will I be able to cope?

It’s like a big black cloud hanging over your head
And no matter how hard or how much you try it NEVER shifts
It’s how I describe depression
Always have and always will, I suppose I should know what it’s like

It’s always me against the world is it not?
No matter how close I get to someone, love or trust them
I can’t let them in, just no
And I’ll tell you something, it’s scary and so lonely

You know, I’m no better than you or anyone else
But I may be different, is that good or bad?
They’re always on about standing out is a good thing, be who you are
But what if this is me, what if my depression is my life?

You asked if it’ll be a part of me forever
And I replied yes, of course thinking about it first
But the true questions are, will I cope?
And if this is part of me forever, can I ever explain it to people?

Author notes

AP NAME IS: "xbecx" Option 3 - depression

OPTION 2 FOR Options contest(prewrites accepted) - DEPRESSION

 

 

It's just a conversation I had with a pretty good friend of mine, she's suffered from depression and still does and so do I and we were talking about whether it will be part of us forever or not ...

I had depression from 12 or 13 until I was about 16.
Again please be a little sensitive, this is from personal experience.

Option D - 8) Write about the darkest time in your life. Nothing could be more lonely than having depression.

      I did suffer from it sooo badly up until 2-3years ago but if I'm totally honest, i don't think I will ever 110% get rid of it.

      Thanks for the comment

    This is amazing. I can somehow feel your sadness and agony from this piece, and it breaks my heart when people feel this miserable.
    It reminds me of an old friend of mine.
    Thank you so much for entering, and for bringing this different side of loneliness to the contest.
