"Depression"
I don't know where it started
I don't know how to fix it
My joy has been discarded
My heart has become twisted
For some sympathy I ask
Though I feel undeserving
I'm wearing pain like a mask
Seeking help feels unnerving
I made my plight a poem
In order to entertain
Though my feelings are solemn
I fear they're all too cliche
"Life Lessons"
Embrace your flaws, they are what make you you.
Even depression can bring gratitude.
Embrace the new doors. Leave no stone unturned.
All failure brings a lesson to discern.
Don't fear the future. Don't forget the past.
Appreciate what you have while it lasts.
Learn to learn and accept every change.
Don't take it personally. Life is strange.
"Overthinking"
In the dark recesses of your own mind
There's always a spark of doubt you can find
If you listen to it, you won't find joy
You'll only find the impulse to destroy
Destroy trust, hope, and all things positive
To your friends, only bitterness you'll give
For all your loved ones, endless conflict and strife
Negative assumptions can ruin your life

Just some short poems. I've loved writing ever since I made my first love poem at 13 (still readable in my gallery!), so I figured I might as well bring the old hobby back.

Those are beautiful. nicely done!
Depression is hard. I found that mine got worse when I insisted I had to be happy, when I would be just fine with "content." looking around and noticing i have 4 meals and a nice enough place and a computer - that's content. I still looked at happy people as having no brains, but at least I didn't suffer the moment.
Big hug! Hope today is good enough.

"Life Lessons" is the strongest. It reads the best, and the last couplet is excellent.
