Sometimes I look in the mirror and see nothing
Sometimes I see something I don’t want to
But most times I see a monster
Holding my past to me
Determining my future
The scares I always see remind me of what I have lost
The thoughts remind of what I could lose
The eyes tell me how broke my heart is
The eyes a dark and deep story of pain
Pain of the things I have done
The sacrifices I have made
The things I have let go of
The things I can’t
The monster that will never come out of me
Unless I can let go of what I can do
But I can its what holds me

i am feeling very depressed right now poetry has been my life for a whille now i was just wondering if anyone out there wants to tlak or feels the same way i do?

mckayla, although we do not provide a discussion forum on our website, we encourage you to continue reading Personal Stories from other youth that might provide some inspiration, use the interactive tools in the Toolbox section, and find out how to access help or support under the Help tab. To speak to a counselor directly, please consider calling Kids Help Phone at 1-800-668-6868. There is treatment for depression. You deserve to feel better. With proper treatment, that is possible. Take good care.
