My Depression

Some days

It’s hard to find

A reason

To get out of bed

The depression claws

At me

Begging me

To just stay there

Sink into the darkness

And disappear

But I don’t want to

Do that

Not again

Because I know this

Darkness

I know this

Depression

I know what it’s like

And I know

That nothing will get better

If I give up

So I’ll keep on fighting

And I’ll persevere

Until

Day by day

The darkness grows brighter

The depression grows weaker

And the hope

The hope grows stronger

    Maybe Someday

    Ya know

    Sometimes I don’t think

    That things will ever get better

    Sometimes I don’t see

    How they really could

    But I’m not always like that

    Sometimes I think

    “Maybe someday”

    “Maybe it will improve”

    Worry

    Hello

    My name is Jaden

    I am fifteen

    And this is a poem

    About me

    About how I feel

    Being a teenager

    In 2025

     

    Distance

    Rain

    Endless nights

    With no end in sight
