Burning in Depression

April 22, 2019
By Anonymous

Im like a fire,

Starting as a little flame,

Nothing more

Nothing less.

Filling you with

sorrow

Slowly blooming to be

A passionate flame

gradually destroying you

For you are already

Broken

I will overwhelm you

Burn you with your own

Weakness

For even the strong oak,

Can be burnt down

I have personally suffered from depression for over 5 years and it honestly consumed every part of my life, even now it still does. This whole poem is a metaphor from depressions point of view.
