“Make your life a masterpiece; imagine no limitations on what you can be, have or do.”


Nothing goes right, my life is a road on the left hand side

I’m sinking, I’m drowning in a puddle of hopeless idealization and expectations

Of childhood dreams and aspirations

That will never manifest themselves

That will never come true.


I feel trapped in a labyrinth 

A dark maze through black woods

An inescapable torture, 

A never-ending ordeal 

One masked by a smile, a clever conceal.


My life is a ferris-wheel, but not the fun kind,

I can never leave.

I watch the world go on without me, 

My presence unnoticed, unmissed

My life cycles and repeats itself, 

Endless misery.


The author's comments:

I wrote this piece in the voice of a person suffering from depression; seeking comfort, warmth and acknowledgment from someone. My hope for this is to raise awareness of depression, and mental health. In addition, I hope that after reading this, readers will reach out to those in pain.
