Poem on depression-Dark tunnel of depression

Depression

Is an 

Endless

Dark tunnel

Without light

Without air

The deeper

You go inside

More difficult 

It becomes

To survive

Life looks 

No less than hell 

Slowly becomes

Impossible

To return

Back to light

Breathe fresh air

One must get out of 

The tunnel 

As early as one can 

Before getting 

Entrapped 

Losing smile

And 

Happiness 

For ever

Depression,life,smile,tunnel,

When victory out of sight

When

Nothing goes right

Victory out of sight

One feels defeated

Lives frustrated

Life becomes

A burden

Smile eludes

The face
Positive attitude
Keeping calm
Praying to god
Working on

Own’s strength
Learning from past

 Mistakes
Can only make

Life Rosy again
Defeat will certainly be 

Defeated by

Victory one day

Miseries

Supposed to be

Brave and strong

Hard working

Honest to the core

Lived down to earth

Never felt tired

Success never

Climbed his head

Never boasted

What he got

Never complained

What he did not

Ignoring his sufferings

Always kept doing

Something new

Show to the world

What the others can’t

He can

Smiled even

When he should have cried

So badly he was treated

Roughed and abused

By people around

Simply because

Other could not achieve

What he could

His positive attitude

Did not come to his rescue

So tired he became

Depression set in

Killed himself

One night

To keep others happy

Relieved himself

Of his miseries

Even a smile became history

Life to me

Looked as if

Covered by

Dark clouds of

Unending misery

Even a smile

Became history

I felt depressed

And lonely

It was then

Lightening struck

The dark clouds

Suddenly

She appeared

To my rescue

Her love showers

Drenched

Each and every

Corner of my heart

Washed away

All the gloom

And misery

Cleaned my mind

With honey drops

Of pure love

Brought back

My confidence

Loneliness

Hid behind the

Curtains of time

When depression sets in

When

Depression sets in

One feels

I am right

Everybody else is

On the other side

Everybody likes

To only preach

But nobody listens

I have decided

 Not to listen to

Anybody

Whoever

He or She may be

It’s my misfortune

I am living

In a world full of

Hypocrites

But I do not know

Why even god is

Not with me

Depression,life

Dr.Rajendra Tela,Nirantar 

If your heart cries

If your heart cries

So what

Every heart cries

If your mind

Is not at peace

So what

Every mind is not

At peace

But that does not mean

You should crib

Live depressed

In misery

Because

Many hearts smile

Many minds are

At peace

Inspite of sufferings

Probably they have

More patience

Positive thought

Right attitude

That you 
Do not have

Attitude,patience,positive,

cribbing thought,depressed,depression,

sufferings

Loneliness

Deafening silence

Seeps through my mind

Long forgotten memories

Enter

Increasing my heartbeats

Wounds inflicted

By near and dear ones

Resurface

The pain given by them

Rises

Melancholy overpowers me

In dismay

I want to bang my head

Against the wall

With great difficulty

Move out from the

Dreaded Loneliness

To a place

Where people are

Dancing and singing

Where memories

Do not haunt me

When one's own become one's enemy

When one’s own

Become one’s enemy

One does not need

Others to hurt him

Miseries

Become his friend

Tears give him company

Desire to live vanish

Loneliness creeps in

Depression sets in

Life becomes hell

Every moment one dies

Start thinking

There is no other choice

But to leave the world

Free him self from

Miseries

Get out of the web of depression

Depression is

No less than

A spider’s web

Once one

Is entrapped in it

It is not easy to get out

Listening to others

Praying to god

Thinking positive

Not losing

Self-confidence

Are sure remedies

To smile back again

Get out of the

Web of depression

Return back to

The world of reality

Live a life full of

Peace and happiness

The web of depression

When clouds of

Negative thoughts

Covers the mind

There is darkness

 All around

Smile on the face

Vanishes

Eyes shows agony

One likes nothing

Reacts

Without provocation  

World seems

A useless place

Trust in people

Self-confidence is lost

One starts losing

Interest in life

Does not realize

One is getting trapped

In the web of

Depression

I tried to do what I could not did

I tried to do

What I could not do

I could not do

What I tried to do

I tried to do

What I could do

I could do

What I tried to do

So now

I have decided to do

What I can do

By trying to do

What I cannot do

I shall waste

Time and energy

Failure shall depress me

Causing Dejection

And misery to me

Never to be trapped, in negative thoughts

Nothing was going right

Success not to be seen

Failure all around

The world looked like hell

Everybody, a devil

I was sad and depressed

Unable to sleep

I took a pill

Don’t remember

When the eyes closed?

I was going deep

 In an unexplored black hole

The journey seemed endless

Didn’t know when it shall end?

I began to fear

Remembered god

Get me out of the mess

Then, I saw ray of light

Felt as if

The journey was come to its end

I heard a voice

Which woke me from my sleep?

Drenched in perspiration

I opened my eyes  

Mother standing on my side

Her hands in my hairs

Her eyes wet

Don’t worry, she said

Have faith in god 

And belief in your self  

Everything will be all right

My fear gone

Full of hope

I got up from the bed

With greater determination

To work harder for my goal

Never to be trapped

In negative thoughts
