Depressed man

by DamonRay   May 17, 2017


Look depression is a hurtful feeling; steadily killing kids.
Got them putting a gun to their head.
A knife to their wrist.
Depression got them in denial always feeling like they losing. Like they will never win.
Never smiling, happiness is fully gone. Only anger showing but sadness controlling their state of mind that they're in.
Suicidal mindset most with no reasons for it to be happening. It just is.
Depression got a man praying but seems like no ones answering.
Got a man crying behind the walls in hopes no one sees him losing it.
The feeling is hidden deeper then anyone could imagine.
This poor man died without anyone even knowing what happened.

    Hi Damon,

    I like the rawness of this piece and as Milly said, it's like rapping a social message which I think is very relevant.

    'Look depression is a hurtful feeling; steadily killing kids.

    Depression does hurt to the furthest extent imaginable and people die of it every single day. Steadily killing is very much correct!

    'Depression got them in denial always feeling like they losing. Like they will never win.
    Never smiling, happiness is fully gone. Only anger showing but sadness controlling their state of mind that they're in.'

    You have perfectly described what depression does to human kind, it makes us feel we are but losers, and not deserving of victory! Happiness fully gone, having been depressed myself I will agree to this totally. Happiness is not a word for depressed people. Only anger showing...yes, definitely! Sadness lurks inside the heart and the outcome that comes in the mouth is anger and resentment!

    'Suicidal mindset most with no reasons for it to be happening. It just is.
    Depression got a man praying but seems like no ones answering.
    Got a man crying behind the walls in hopes no one sees him losing it.'

    Suicide seems to be the last option after all unanswered prayers...this is very true! Crying behind walls because of losing hope and in the long run losing the will to live.

    'The feeling is hidden deeper then anyone could imagine.
    This poor man died without anyone even knowing what happened.'

    Society is not very much aware how deep the problem of depression is. It kills. The poor man died and not a single soul knows why he killed himself.

    This was for me a great write and you have fully covered the subject!

    I liked the rhythm of this piece. It felt rustic and street like a young man rapping a social message and raising awareness about depression.
