Depression and Anxiety

I wake up for the day
It’s just a normal day, as anyone would say

I struggle to get outta bed as I sigh
I lay in bed as I wonder why

My body is exhausted even after my slumber
I can’t understand this feeling of somber

I smell food cooking in the kitchen
I sit up in bed looking like a confused kitten

I walk in the kitchen, as mom greets me
She looks at me and says,” you’re finally outta bed I see.”

I slept past noon like I have been
I use to be able to sleep till eight when I was ten

I leave home with my stomach empty
My face showing all but drowsy


My mother brings me to school
I cannot breathe, as I feel like I am drowning in a pool

I don’t know why I feel this way
It’s just a normal day, as anyone would say

I sit in class in the very back towards the wall
Hoping the teacher doesn’t give me a call

As the day goes by, and it is time for lunch
I start to eat, but it isn’t a bunch

I sit alone at the table as I stare at the others
Wishing i was back in bed underneath the covers

School ends, and my mother picks me up
As I sit in the car I feel like I am inside a cup

Staring out the window, as I think of a happy family sitting at a table together
With a dad, mom, and even a brother

We arrive at home, and I hurry to my bed
All I could still feel was the feeling of dread

I lay in bed exhausted from the day
But it was just a normal day, as anyone would say

I close my eyes as I begin to drift off to sleep
I remember the days I would count sheep

I drift off as I begin to think,” it wasn’t that deep.”
As I would begin to start a weep

Something red drips on the carpet
My heart rate begins to be very moderate

I smile a big smile
I wouldn’t wake up in a while

it was just a normal day, as anyone would say
Till there wouldn’t be another day
