What Is Depression?

What is depression?

Is it losing inspiration
The want
To do the things you love?
Is losing the want to be awake
And escape
Into the calming world of sleep?
Is it losing the warmth
The joy
Of being with friends and family?
Is it losing a purpose
A meaning
In this thing we call life?

Or is depression all of these things?

i am going insane someone save me

I swim again through past
I'm overwhelmed by pain,
Scenes are moving fastI
feel like I'm in chain.

On a cold lonesome night
My soul is stuffed with grief
Where is my saving knight?
I've lost my last belief...

I sit alone and listen
My heart is wrapped in sadness
When moon begins to glisten
My mind is filled with madness.

The vibe of pain and terror
Is driving me insane
Am I the sorrow wearer?
I wait the tear of rain...

Sitting at homeNobody around
I sit there aloneWatching time passIn my heart
I feel fearSomeone in the window
Just sitting and watchingA troubled manAlso scared
For a life he will takeSo young and unknown

Forgotten language

Forgotten Language

Once I spoke the language of the flowers,
Once I understood each word the caterpillar said,
Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
And shared a conversation with the houseflyin my bed.
Once I heard and answered all the questionsof the crickets,
And joined the crying of each falling dyingflake of snow,
Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . .
How did it go?
How did it go?

sombrero

SOMBRERO

The sombrero I wear it On my head
So I don't get a heat stroke
The heat sometimes can be too much
The sombrero is nice and cool
It protects me from getting a heat stroke
The sombrero is a large Mexican hat
Made of leather with hand made designs
Lots of people think I am a local man
I tell than noI am not a local man
I am not a Mexican
I am a foreigner
The sombrero makes me look so handsome
I love to wear itI just feel like one of than

Love poem

another poem to sort of end the unit..?

><><><><><><><

Love does not falter
Love does not end
Love is like no other
Because love never bends

Love's life changes last
And it can also change you
From what you were in the past
To someone new

Love is hard to find
It's not easy to see
Yet when soulmates combine
There's no more "me" but "we"

Love is very subtle
But it's always there
Even when it seems as invisible
As a thin strand of hair

Everyone will say
That love is sent from above
And I wish that someday
I'll find my own true love

~END~
