The Life Ive Been Given!!!

Contributed by BuggY on Wednesday, 13th July 2005 @ 04:51:10 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



I’m feeling low,
I’m feeling down,
I cannot smile,
I can only frown.

I feel all alone,
Like nobody’s near,
I’m sat here writing this,
As I shed another tear.

My Nan told me,
To cuddle my dad,
She said I’d feel better,
I really wish it had.

He spends more time with Liam,
And not much with me,
I’m not jealous,
I just want my daddy!!

I don’t feel right,
I feel really weak,
I feel dismantled,
Some love is what I seek.

I’m very much like the air,
Make very little sound,
Never to be seen,
And never to be found.

I don’t like the way I am,
Or the way I’m living,
I cant really do nothing,
This isthe life, I’ve been given.

~Thank you for reading!!~

What caught my attention here is the very last thing written, even after "thank you for reading". Now not many people realize this but depression is not an illness, it is an emotion that humans have lived with since the dawn of time. This saying was invented by a group of people who wish to be helpful and yet go about it in the wrong way.

Now for the important part. The moment one accepts that depression is an illness, that individual has given over the ability to alter their emotion through their own power and have instead left it up to chance.

I've been down this road, I've taken the drugs, I've had the treatment, but what cured me was something far less drastic. What cured me was feeling fantastic, taking back my power and refusing to allow others to dictate to me the course of my mental health.

So go now an be happy. Do that which allows your mind time to escape that hardship you embrace. For only you have the power to alter the next hour.

Don't worry, be happy now.

Depression is an emotion state of disrepair. For some it truly is an illness. But most of us can take our free will and change what is making us unhappy. Others, through severe emotional or physical illnesses lose the ability to create serotonin in their brain and then and only then is it an illness. Take this poem to your father and let him read it. He probably does not even realize you feel this way. It is at least a opening to discussion. If you don't try to open up with your father then you are progressing your own depression. I wish you inner strength. You will need it in life for far more than this.
