Depression -- A Dark Lonely Road: A Stach-dsw Show Piece!
Yesterday was a beautiful Tuesday and like the previous one's we had the @stachdsw show themed "Depression - A Dark Lonely Road" with the host @winarobert and his lovely co-host @julietisrael.
And as usually the show was a huge success with different entries from @Zyzymena, @MizDais, @Bookoons, @francistagbo, @chireerocks and many more, it was a fun/sad night and at the end of it all there were three winners selected.
@zyzymena came first while @Bookoons came in second while yours truly Moi came in third, once again I'd like to say a big congratulations to the winners and participants. All your entries were awesome.
Also our major contributor/sponsor @surfyogi, I like to call him king of the oldies was present and he dropped his two cents where necessary. I'm still waiting for when you'll finally give a presentation.
Well enough said, my entry for the show can be found below. Do enjoy!
How would you describe me if asked
Do I seem happy to you
Do my smiles fool you
We've spent a lot of time together
Yet you haven't the slightest clue.
If you only knew that the guy you see before you is nothing but a facade
But I wouldn't blame you
After all no one in my family knows
They haven't got the slightest idea
That their son and brother was molested.
Molested by those older girls when I was in primary school
An event that has shaped my entire life
My screams of anguish that no one could hear
Muffled by the rag they'd used to gag me
The threat that came afterwards, when they were done.
I'm older now but the scars still remain
Not scares to my body for which they left non
The scares to my soul, for deeply it burned
Trust no girl, engraved in my brain
Those words I always say as I remember the pain.
An introvert I've been turned
Strong online but fearful in real life
The reason why I hide in my room all day
The reason I don't have friends or accept visitors.
This is a secret I'd kept for so long
One I'd sworn to guard till the end
This has been my dark lonely road
But I've been told, that sharing heals the soul
I want to be healed
I'm tired of faking happiness
I want to be happy.
This is beautiful in and out. A perfect definition of lonely road; depression. It is real and we must collectively fight against it before it fights against us. Thanks for this piece.
