DEPRESSING POEMS

Understand

you don't understand

you never do

I try to explain

but I can't get through to you

I tell you the truth

that I feel so depressed

but you say I'm okay

I thought you would know best

so I sit in my room

locked in my personal hell

while you pretend its all good

and I do as well

but I'm not okay

and my friends know that too

but you can't seem to see

what is right in front of you

you say its a phase,

blame my friends for it all

but you don't understand

that this is not their fault

I can't live like this

I can't live this life

and as much as I tried

I can't end it with a knife

I know you've been through this

that you ached so much more

but I can't help but wonder

don't you know me at all!?

I thought you would get it;

why I'm acting this way

but you don't fucking listen

to what I have to say

you just ignore me

pretend I'm alright

I want this to end

I feel like I might...

but I'm not as strong

as I'd like to be

so I'll act all normal

while I wait patiently

for my time to come

and I hope that its soon

my friends understand

I wish you could too

but you don't understand

and I know its not fair

but sometimes I feel

like you don't even care

I feel all alone

but I know that's not true

I have all my friends

but I wish I had you

I know with my friends

I'll make it through this

even though it feels like

my life's falling to bits

you don't understand

you never do

but I hope with their help

I can make it through
