Depression
Markesha Poochie Jones 1979 (Georgia)
Depression is coming at me at full speed.
It has torn my spirit from different angles.
I am losing it, my life is out of control.
I try to hide my pain by keeping a smile on my face, knowing that my insides are drowning.
Even when I try to pretend that I am okay, depression remains at the surface and keeps pushing me down further.
I am lost and at a crossroads of anguish.
Please save me from depression that causes inflammation in my soul.
