Depression is real ( part 1)

It may seam unreal, but I've healed..

Immobile is what I've been for long

It wasn't a deal cause I sent an appeal daily....an appeal to be freed from the ordeal

Only to still have to deal with 

loneliness...

An appeal to be freed from the bin, the empty pit...

To be filled by the zeal of being free and not conceal my ideal self..

My plea falling onto deaf ears..

My tears seen by blind ears...

My fears felt by bodiless persons..

Its a deal that needs no fee...no key or invitee for entree..

It's depression..something so real that you can feel.

I stand here as the few representing the 

crew of both genders whether young or old...

Not everyone grasps the intensity of screaming on the inside whilst not a single word escaping your lips..

It's something that breaks you down into pieces leaving you with no clue of where you were before and how you found yourself in that state..

Yelling for help only to realize that your mouth al along shut.

Causes may be as much as looking down upon someone..

As much as not choosing the words we let flow out of us..

Putting unnecessary pressure on our loved ones to perform ..

Setting standards for others based on our abilities

Enough of it..

From my point of view..no amount of words uttered by anyone makes you feel better during the state..

Do you know what's needed..just your presence..the presence of someone who cares..someone who even though says nothing but is just there to assure you everything will be okay..someone to just walk with you through that piece of storm...someone who prays for you without you knowing..

Someone who's ready to listen to you pour out your heart even though what you're saying may seam petty..

..but what do we get...

"Maybe you're not trying hard enough to get out of it"

"Have you tried praying for yourself?"

"Wha.. it's serious what are you going to do?"

"Arrgh, that's just life...I also have my own problems... goes on explaining"

"Discover yourself"

"Have you really seen a mentor?"

All these..before one reaches depression , you've gone for some if not all those options.

Depression is a disease like any other..

Imagine this...us treating other ailments such as a fracture or a burn in the same way

Try fixing those same answers to these.

I have a headache....maybe you're not trying hard enough to get out of it..

My stomach aches...Wha.. it's serious..so what are you going to do?

Am having a heart attack...discover your self...

I know there was a time that this was the headline in the world but was a solution really found ?
