Depression You Took My Life
Poem #1
by Sharnetha Roberson

Depression you took my life
You took all that really matters to me.

My sense of self
Family
Friends

For me I feel there's no meaning to my life.
Loving
Caring
Understanding

All these things I no longer possess.
Depression
Stole my life and happiness

I no longer have any control over my feelings.
I now belong to you.

I demand that you leave my life,you bastard Depression.

When I go to sleep tonight
I will
I will...
Goodnight
Forever.

Poem#2

Tipsy the Alcoholic

by lonelyheart74 (Sharnetha Roberson)

I took another drink of Vodka today
Thinking foolishly these empty,awful feelings would go away.
Guess what? It didn't. It stayed.
Taunting me
Taunting me
Saying go to the corner store and get another bottle and drink your life away.
