A choke. A cry.
An unheard silent scream.
A burden. A burning.
What is it like to dream?
A nightmare. A nagging.
A feeling you will die?
A whisper. A warning,
Telling you, you must fly?
Listen! Help!
A call in desperate need.
No! Stop!
A seemingly silent plea.
Why? I'm done!
Acceptance of their fate.
...! Oh,
I hope I'm not too late.

People with depression are often overlooked. Even when someone asks for help they're rarely given it. At least unlike this poem, I haven't yet actually died. But I guess that, that sentence sounds relieving to some, while to others it sounds restricting and upsetting; not everyone wants to live.
