I Want This To End

by Anne Engelen

Curled up on my couch in fetal position

That’s all I get as recognition

It’s just a definite sign

for being caught up in a depression

You’re still doing fine

Is all I hear

Just hearing that word once more

is what I fear

Being depressed changes what you are

Yet it’s just a feeling

too negative by far

Snap out of it?

Ha...Easier said than done

How rewarding it seems

Just grabbing a gun

Negative thoughts

That’s not who I am

It’s called being depressed

Life’s little scam

Anti-depressants?

Well..they didn’t work

So back to square one

Still feeling a jerk

Refusing to feel bad

Dragging me through each day

Wondering where I lost myself

Where I went astray

Wonderful! sounds like my daily routine. i often look back, trying to see where my path in life changed ... i get lost in the thought. my husband ALWAYS suggests i simply "shut it off."
