Depression Hurts

Grips me like a straight jacket.
Can't breathe.
Causes so much pain, anguish, and sadness.
No one seems to understand.
I cry, then cry some more.
I sleep like there is nothing else in life.
People look at me like I'm crazy.
I can't hardly speak, .
The words that I do speak come out harsh.
Can any one help me?
I need to get to get off the couch.
I need some fresh air.
The thought only wears me out.
I lay until I have no strength.
My legs won't hold me up anymore.
My children give up trying.
Life passes me by.
Is there anybody out there?
Can anybody hear me?
I'm in so much grief.
It hurts, Depression hurts.
