Welcome to the Canada poem arc! These poems will take up the next couple chapters. They are about depression, so just warning you before you read. Enjoy!

Takes over

Not just the mind

But the soul

Happiness

No longer exists

Hope

Dreams

What were they again?

You are just a shadow of your former self

Words spoken

Stay that way

For you don't say a word anymore

Your only friend is yourself

In an empty room

Loneliness slowly creeps in

Taking over your life

Becoming a too familiar feeling

Tears fall down your face

Every day and every night

Your blanket at night is a blanket of shame and regret

You are held hostage

Too afraid to go anywhere

For the fear of more pain

Can't go outside

For the light is too bright

Screams are like music to your ears

Heart?

What heart?

That was shattered forever ago

What are feelings?

All you know is sadness

Love you have never felt only adds onto the pain

Loved by none

Talked to by no one

Depression becomes a life companion

It is a predator that preys on innocent people

Kills it slowly

Making sure it suffers

The pain can be all too much for unsuspecting people

No mercy

No mercy

It has no mercy

Thoughts of suicide occur

From people trying to escape it

People that no longer consider it a companion

But a foe

The rope is hung

The blades are out

Life is over

No one knows

No one cares

What that person felt

Until they are found hung

Drowned in a pool of blood

Some people are happy

For the weird kid is gone

Forever

And ever

And ever

A permanent solution

Others realize their misdeeds

Vow never to do it again

But it is too late

The light has faded

It is gone

No longer shining

Cannot be relit

Goodbye forever

You shall be missed

An angel you are

Finally free, finally loved

Free to be yourself

You soar through the skies

Trying to be someone else's guardian angel

Saving them from what you had to go through

Your family misses you

They cry on the ground

Wishing they had known

Wishing they had done something to help

But they cannot

For the deed is done

Goodbye forever

You shall be missed
