Define depression. It’s a heavy weight,
Dark clouds hover, it’s a twisted fate.
Mind’s a prison, can’t catch a break,
Every move a mistake, every heartbeat aches.

Shadows in the alley, demons giving me a test,
Lost in the madness, no chance at rest.
Counting every pill swallowed, life feels steep,
Emotional rollercoaster, hear the silence weep.

Bipolar beast, highs and lows collide,
One minute I’m singing, next, I wanna hide.
Writing poems fills the space, I still dont know my place,
This maddening tide, I can’t confide.
