ABOUT THIS POEM
I was motivated
to write this poem when I heard about a young girl at the age of 15 who
committed suicide in her own room, leaving her 3 siblings and her grieving
parents behind.
She was believed
to be in a depressive state when she decided to take her life. No one ever
guessed that she was feeling that way because she seemed to have been happy
from the outside.
She was a very
artistic person, posting her paintings on her social media page and receiving
various praises for her works of art.
This is an eye
opener for everyone not to take depression lightly as only a form of mood swing
or a feeling of temporary sadness.
Depression is real and should not be taken for granted. It can take away the life of even a seemingly happy and innocent
person.
Hearing the news
about this young and promising woman could only make one feel sorry for having
to lose such a gifted person.
I hope you like
this poem, which somehow depicts what goes on inside the deepest thoughts of a
person with depression.
THE PLEA
A dark
and stormy night engulfs
My mind,
my mood, my emotions
As the
violent wind rushes
So does
my sad and weary heart.
The
fierceness of the dropping rain
Weakens
my wounded spirit more
The night
deepens, so does the pain
I feel it
piercing through my heart.
The sound
of the angry storm
Reminds
me of my lonely life
The
wrath, the anguish it brings
Pushes me
further down the line.
I am
crying, weeping out loud
But the
sound outside is louder
Is there
even a glimmer of hope?
For someone
as broken as me?
If you
have only tried to look
If you
have only listened
To my
voice, my begging voice
Maybe I
would not be here.
Here in
this dark and lonely room
Alone
with my thoughts, emotions
I
wouldn’t have gone with the storm
I
wouldn’t have left with the wind.
