DEPRESSION - A poem

By -



If I turn around and walk out of life,
Will anyone notice I am gone?
I find it hard to measure my worth on a scale
The world doesn't even care.

Sitting on the bridge of depression
Ready to jump into death
My heart pumping pain
My face as white as snow
This is a life I didn't ask for.

I feel hollow deep within
I feel life has rejected me
My folded tears fight to be free
You  stared into my eyes for long
How blind you are, you didn't see my smile was shallow

I jab and cut into my skin
Wishing that could bring eminence
I lay buried deep in dejection
In pain  I call for death
Death refuse me, it refuse to be an ally

When I stare into the mirror
I saw a frightened weak self
I called the attention of some pills
Wishing the bottle could take them away for ever
But every time I rise from sleep
I find yourself in dysphoria

Please help I screamed
But the world appear silent to my cry.
I am alone, no one cares
I wish to be shown love, Hopping to be seen.
I wished I could live in a better world.

But it is not the world to be blamed.
I also have my part to play
It is time to stop feeding the beast
I  should hoot in defense


Peace comes only to one who seek it
I should Stop running, I can't hide
But I can fight with hope
I am ready to welcome determination
Isn't it the bedrock of success?

I Say it loud and clear
watch me as I get better
Gradually I know that day would come
I will be free from this night mare
Soon I will be basking in elevation
Then I will my life above the salt.

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMON, MAKE LEMONADE

A lot of things happen in life, yes! The blind can see that, the deaf can hear it, the dumb are saying it again and again, it is crystal clear, thus, we conclude that life does not give us want we want or deserve, life seems or it is not fair to everyone. We strive for greatness, then something goes so wrong that we find it difficult to take a step further. Hence, the "when life gives you lemon, make lemonade". It is a fact that lemon is sour and lemonade is sweet. Making lemon  into lemonade means turning an unpleasant situation into a pleasant one. It is easier said than done but it is true that from a bitter situation, we can get a deeper sweetness, every well-managed condition is a blessing. Negative things will happen, it's inevitable, but out of virtually every bad situation we can constructively find  a way out. The following 8 points may help in doing that: [1] LOOK FOR THE LESSON When you are in an unpleasant situation, look carefully into it, there is...

A Letter To Mr Death

By -
Old Mr Death, I have a complaint against your nefarious deeds. Yes, I know you are inevitable But I hate the fact that you are inconsiderate You are a foe of all races, Putting fear in the face of humanity. How dare you? You took our loved ones and left us in pain You turned a sweet home sour You set our lives in jeopardy. How could you ruthlessly pull the child's life like a tooth? Their happiness you mercilessly devour, this I yearn the sooth. Your cruelty knows no measure Don't you have a heart or it is made of stone?  You leave every house you visit in mourning You wickedly snatch the only child of a widow Leaving the walls and sands wailing Her being and joy leaped out the window. You gladly feed on the good, leaving the wicked to rot You took the young lad with dreams, how unthoughtful of you He was on the track to achieving greatness Until you came and snatched him away Here I wonder what his offense was. You are like the air in all nations A...
