Depressed as Fuck
It's a quarter past midnight
Am scrolling through endless videos
But can't seem to connect to anything
I'm overwhelmed by emotion
And sad as fuck.
Sad Songs on repeat,
Anything to help me work through it.
Though I know someone out there waits for me tomorrow
I feel an infinite loneliness
And I know this grave is self dug
Many people try to reach out
Always told them I'm fine
Put a smile on my face
I've learnt how to pretend
But deep inside I feel quite the opposite
I've tried to many times to put my emotions to words
But ended up with too much red,
Equated myself to the world but nothing seems to balance out...
I put some effort behind everything
But nothing ever works,
I've disappeared from the world
Pulled away from my friends
Most of the time I feel better alone than with anyone that care..
I have so many plans
So many Poems in need of being uploaded
One too many relationships in need of mending
But most of the time I'm tired as fuck.
It's hard to go to sleep
It's even harder to wake up
So much expectations
I don't want to disappoint.
The demands of the day,
The vicious cycle of uncertainty
All weigh in heavy
I'm hanging on by a thread
Nothing else matter,
If it wasn't for this dream and plan
I would have been long dead
Just because I'm breathing
Doesn't mean I'm alive
There's nothing but cold and emptiness inside
I fail to see the future, everyday it gets darks
So hard to move on when nothing is as more addictive than the past
Too many people look up to me
So it's hard to give up
But if anyone knew how heavy this cross is that I've been carrying
They'd let me go and hope that I get through it.

Author's Note
Lately it's been really though, the current situation there country is in....
People looting malls, it's chaos, the country on a brink of state of emergency
There also covid-19 lockdown forcing me to stay at home and not go to work without income
And relationships and everything in between... All just weighing me down...

I have, I wrote this as a form of acceptance and a way to cope....
Writing or drawing out my emotions have brought me back from the brink
One too many times
Thank you very much

Relate with the weight. When I think I can’t take it anymore, I find I always have some poetry in me to get me through. May seem trivial in comparison to the weight of the world around you, but hey, whatever gets through another day. I’m rooting for you, poet.

Difficult situations for all...and worse for others. You need to be strong.....yourself first before you even can think of helping others. Good luck to you.

It's that time where you now great the lyrics and not just enjoying the music
Thank you very much

This place is unlike any other
There's a love/hate relationship that one can have with their country of birth
Especially when there seems to be no end to continuous disappointments
When it comes to the perfect storm that the country now finds itself in it is not surprising
The signs have always been there
But just like everything else this was ignored
The country will be built and destroyed by the people
No one can save us except ourselves
The words of Bantu Steve Biko always resonate with me from time to time when he said
"Black man you are on your own."
It is Bob Marley who also said in his Redemption Song
"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery none but ourselves can free our minds"

Yes very true and I like the words you've quoted
But one thing about us with Africans we've always been resilient....
All we need are leaders who can't put people needs first before their own....
Kuzo lulama....

Things are looking up....
But one thing one learnt about depression is it never goes away just lies waiting for something else to trigger it ....
But truly I've been coping very well, even things in some aspects of my life have been opening up....
Thank you very much....
I guess this poem will out live me
