"The Horridnss Of A Depressive Mind" by Susie Logan

Thoughts flood my mind

Horrid thoughts I want to rewind.

Thoughts of death

Thoughts of being here no more

My life a culmination of one big bore.

Planning, thinking, choosing what way

Dare not tell anyone

I know what they will say.

Thoughts of wanting to hide

Hide away so safety is on others side

I don’t trust myself to be around you

I’m scared of what my mind wants me to do.

You don’t need anymore pain

You’ve had enough.

I know you love me

But living with me has to be tough.

The mood swings, unpredictable highs

The staying in bed just wanting to cry.

You have been so patient and so kind

It is thoughts of you that I now

Try to flood my mind.
