I wish...

by Robert Long   Oct 11, 2017


i wish i was young
and innocent in the mind
i wish i was happy again
with depression far behind

i wish i was a stranger
to what i knife was
i wish i was perfect
and this is because

i wouldn't have to worry
about being bullied
and my emotions wouldn't
have to be reburied

and i wish people knew
what we go through
what we deal with
and why we're always blue

and i take pride
in being an awareness adocate
because i deal with depression
and i know suicide isn't it

so i bring to light
what they deal with
and sometimes to open their heart
you need a locksmith(intervention)

but i have learned
we're no affected the same
but one thing is the similar
ourselves we always blame

but thats it for this poem
until my next write
and if someone has depression
love them with all your might

i feel this was way too generic for my writting

    A depressed person only need love and trust.
    Often we try to give them sympathy which is not right.
    They have all the strength inside them they just need love to trigger it.

    I really like this and I like the way you have tackled the subject. Depression is an elongated version of a short word beginning with F.

    The poem isn't generic by the way, not really! At least in my opinion, and that's worth less than dust.

    From a guy who rhymes a lot I do think you could have played with it a little and made it flow slightly better.

    However what comes flows, I sometimes write directly to site and if I do that it's as I think it. So I can't really criticise.

    Anyway all in all its a good piece
