"Happily Depressed"
I have lost my battle against depression
And no one has the audacity to tell me that
Pain makes me grow
That I will eventually heal
Cause I already know
That I am surrounded by an air of melancholy
And nothing’s going to work out ever
My efforts will all be wasted
I’m not convinced into believing that
Against all the odds
Someone is always there for me
It’s not exactly true
Part of me knows that I’m a loser
Now read from bottom to top
About the Author
I’m Hoor Abdul Ghani from Pakistan, I’m an engineer by profession, and writing is what I love doing the most. I’ve always tried to heal people through my words and I’m always there to lend them a listening ear. For, I believe depression is no banter and it needs to be addressed openly. There’s a strong stigma attached to mental illness and it’s time we come forward and talk about it and give others a space to grow and heal. I also run my poetry account on instagram which goes by the name @hooragwrites.
