Depression Poem

Ahhhhhhhhh I shout

Stop the World I want to get out

Same shit different day

But why do I feel this way

DEPRESSION is what it is called

I tell you now it is no fun at all

Thoughts are always negative

You just don't want to live

A whirlwind of thoughts in your head

If you could you would just stay in bed

But life must go on

And each day seems so long

Pull yourself together is what people say

But they don't know how hard it is to survive a day

Its hard looking after yourself

Let alone someone else

Two sons is what I have

I love them to death but they drive me mad

Kaelin aged two and kian aged four

I wont be having any more!!!!

Being a mum is not easy

Especially when you have PND

Small things get to you

You just don't know what to do

How's my blues affecting their heads

I don't want them to end up on meds

From them constant needs

And at the same time trying to fix me

Just looking after the house and all the work

With no support it drives me berserk

I need to chill and get back my life

Have some fun being a mum and wife

I will get there one day

I am on my way

On the road to recovery

To find the real me
