Comments : Beating Depression

    Depression is a silent killer and many don't understand how it feels to live with depression. With any disability. Depression can and will suck the life out of us unless we find the strength to fight the fight. It does not define who we are. Writing is a good way to express our feelings. Thank you for sharing and all the best to you.

    Loved this!!!! My favorite stanza of this piece is here...

    “I had to pick up pen and paper
    It is time for me to fight
    The only weapon I have
    Is my desire to write”

    The way you put that made me feel like it was my own battle with myself. I have used, (and still do), writing as the way to cope. If it wasn’t for that pen and paper I would have lost that battle long ago. The only weapon I have is my pen and paper and the desire to write. To let it all out.

    I loved this as I made me feel every line and understand that we are not alone in this world.
    Great write!
