This is one I wrote after my friends found out I was Manic Depressive.

And I tell myself its helping
And tell myself I'm doing the right thing
And I tell myself not to open up
Not to tell the real thing
But everyday someone ask
Everyday they ask why I feel this way?
I smile and try to laugh it off
But then I cough
and I choke on my tears
Time rolls on by
And I shrug it off
Cause I hide in my cold hands
They hold me together like old bands
My only friends
I dont want this brought to an end
All of these tears
All this screaming in my ears
My heart is untouched and bare
And all I ever see is this lifeless stare
And I try so hard not to end it
And sometimes try to hold on a little bit
All I am is fear
And I'm always here
I never go away
But I never wanna stay...

Good poem. That really touches on depression and how it's hard for other people to understand.

If your afraid of the dark, then why did you come?

I liked this piece...it describes how I felt before I found out I had a (fortunately mild) case of depression. I remember thinking the same thoughts, and I guess that was my therapy to opening up a little more. Thanks for the wonderfully written piece.
