Depression, it cuts me like a knife

The kind to cut steak and bone
Rejection, like a constant reminder

Of my biggest mistakes in life.   
Misery and sadness, go hand in hand to
Become my main feelings in this painful attack.
Fear, said to make one 'sick',  
Anger, said to make one hurt
And many more to fill in what the others haven't 
Every so often at night, they come
And destroy my emotions and my outlook on life.
The worst thing I feel when this happens
Is the fact that I don't want to tell a soul
About my problems, my pain, my demons

The edited version of the thread.

This happened to me once. And it was my first go at poetry.

Please tell me what you think.

I can completely relate to this. I have felt like this a few times myself, and unfortunately know exactly how it feels.

Another poetic and very artistic piece. Very morbid look on depression and how it affects the body and mind.

This is really, really, impressive and intriguing! I love the way you describe all the emotions, making the reader feel like they are experiencing this pain themself.
