The Only Life You Can Save

One day you finally knew
That the things that make you happy are very few
Moment by moment, your world is turning dark
And you feel yourself falling apart
You’re spiraling down into the abyss
A life of happiness you miss
Your soul is broken in pain
And you realize you have nothing left to gain
But then you look up at the sky
And decide to keep your head held high
You will not let yourself cave
For your own life is the only life you can save…

I wrote this poem a few years ago. I wrote it when I was recovering from my depression. Whenever I’m feeling down and every other method I try to cheer me up doesn’t work, I read this to remind me not to give up, to keep on going.
