POEM : Depression

It’s easier for you to walk away,Than for you to reach out to me.It’s easier for you to look away,Than it is for you to see depth of my despair.It’s easier for you to look through me,Than it is for you to see me the way I am.It’s easier for you to distance yourself,Than it is for you to really care for me!

It’s easier for you to walk away,
Than for you to reach out to me.
It’s easier for you to look away,
Than it is for you to see depth of my despair.
It’s easier for you to look through me,
Than it is for you to see me the way I am.
It’s easier for you to distance yourself,
Than it is for you to really care for me!

It’s easier for you to hear words out,
Than it is for you to know from me.
It’s easier for you to judge me immediately,
Than it is for you understand me like….
It’s easier for you to bask in your joy,
Than it is for you to feel the pain I have.
It’s easier for you to look away on me,
Than it is for you to see the feeling of,
Betrayal in my eyes!
    
It’s easier for me to cry deeply and silently,
Than it is for me to cry and talk out loudly.
It’s easier for you me to walk the streets alone,
Than it is for me to risk rejection of the world.
It’s easier for me to distance my self from you,
Than it is for to trust that you won’t hurt me!

If only you would really look at me,
And see me as one you’re proud of.
If only you cared enough for me,
Just to reach out when I push you away.
If only you would hold me without asking,
Why?

But it’s the easy road that you’ve most often taken!
