I Can See Death: 30 Mental Health Awareness Poems

POEM 1: DEPRESSION AND STRESS

Another day of being in the darkest hole 

on earth while standing at the top of the 

mountain for all to see I call it brown and blue

It feels like my heart is breaking

ever since I was little, I was sad

ever since I was a child,

I didn't know the bright colours of life I 

just kept guessing on how I should act

Another day of ‘I just want to be happy’

But why is it so hard that these emotions 

blindness are draining me up I 

bite the chill every time they arise And 

I freeze over in coldness

Is there nobody to save me?

Today, I try again

to search for something

to make me feel it

I go out and walk to a park

I thought everything will change

But, once again, I am let down 

It’s like a knife cutting through my tiny

sliver of hope

What else do I have to do?

This ground is getting heavier

I just want to die because of this bleakness

Just tell me honestly if there is a way out?

I want to know a better life

without depression and stress

numbing and vacuuming all my feelings away

So I go to sleep hoping for a better day, again

I cannot miss what I never felt; happiness

But will it come to my address on Christmas…?
