Train of Depression

This poem is about battling depression.

By Amanda ZylstraPublished 6 years ago • 1 min read

It’s like having your heart run over by a train you never saw coming.

Then picking up the glass shards of a broken vase.

You can glue it back together but it’s a lost cause and will only break when the next train comes through.

This train has no schedule.

It can appear on a clear day when the sun is shining bright, and also on a cold dark rainy day.

The train of depression can follow you anywhere and appear at any time.

It’s like a ghost there to haunt you.

It’s a phantom of your mind that only you can see and hear.

It’s your emotions working against you.

Your own mind working against you.
