Poems   In Depression   Black tears rain down and batter the ground Then lie in pools of forsaken hopes and dreams The cause and result of the pain of centuries But I have to keep hoping if it is the way it seems Because that's all that keeps me going That's all that keeps me going The end of my world seems to crawl ever near At least in my mind - of loneliness it speaks Of heartache, suffering, despair, a knowledge Of something inside which won't find what it seeks But it's all that keeps me going It's all that keeps me going A hand reached out, it touched my very soul And for once the shadows were blissfully clear But now it falters, not knowing where to turn And it left a dream - threatened by doubt and fear But you're all that keeps me going You're all that keeps me going   About this poem   This is a poem I wrote when I was in my last year at sixth form. I can't really remember what motivated me to write it specifically, but it is about having depression, the mood swings you go through, and how one person can make all the difference.
