NOBODY KNOWS

Nobody knows how I am different
The outside of me is not afraid
Not full of pain, or even ashamed
The inside of me is hallow and empty
I am tattered,broken and full of despair
I smile and everyone believes
Of course nothing could be wrong with me
My eyes are dry, I do not shed tears
For that gift was taken away from me
I laugh,talk and play along
I keep on existing as if nothing is wrong

Nobody knows how different I am
My world is falling, crumbling apart
Life is meaningless and that is just the start
My heart so sore, I can feel it breaking
And it leaves me shaking
For all they know I am happy and always smiling
But deep inside my soul is dying
I can feel it rotting
It wants to scream,but I won't let it
I can never tell them how I feel because the happiness I wear to them is real

Nobody knows how different I am
When all I feel is pain
When all my loved one looks at me and all I feel is shame
When I am tired of living and playing this game
When my life is meaningless and I am the only one to be blamed
When the hurt is in my soul
When nothing makes me happy and the darkness around me grows
When I look back in my life and every choice I made now seems wrong
When the wait to die seems too long

Nobody knows how different I am
When I cry quietly in a corner
Don't make a big scene
Don't let anyone think something is wrong
Don't drown anyone in my sorrow
Don't let them see my pain
I am scared and lost, clueless as can be
Is there on one out there to help me

Nobody knows how different I am
And that will never change

Hmm... This are voices from depressed being which can be as a result of esteem, family, pain,academic,relationship,challenges,lack of funds, etc. Everyone might not know how you feel but surely God knows how you feel because he is different from everyone.

Depression is a bad feeling,it brings in fear and take away boldness. There is nothing you are going through that God do no know.. Telling people, they might not understand even if they understand at that moment, what of every moment ..why don't you tell it to God that understand all things at every time.
There is this song I love very much.. “ *Jesus knows all about our struggle, He will guide till the day is gone. There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus, No not one! No not one! ”......* He is the only friend that understands your struggle,so don't give up. Pray for strength to pass through and pray for his love because it's only God's love that can cheer and heal every pain. Depression might come but remember God's love and word for your life.

Deuteronomy 31:6-Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them (your depression) for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.
There's not an hour that he is not near us. Don't live by the thought, voice,words coming into your mind but live by God's words.Study the word to get your mind renewed everyday. Challenges,problems,etc... Would come to get you depressed but don't let it overshadow your life. Think and reflect on God's word and pray.

Your life should not be determined by how you let depression lead you, but it should be determined by how you live and let the word of God reflect over them.
Depression kills the boldness in you and replace it with fears which can result to death. Make a decision not to live by it.

Don't forget to share and drop your thoughtful comments.. God bless us and I love you!!!

This is really sad. And there are millions of Nigeria going through depression. Yet they can't even say they are depressed cos this is Africa and the word depression doesn't exist. It's either "ise aye" or the person is "unserious", and because of that, they can't be helped, then they end up making terrible mistakes.

I wish more people will really *know* Jesus. He'll save them also from depression. He has saved me from it.

Exactly!... many at times, people don't see it as depression, they see it as mood swings thinking with time I would get over it..
Some sees it as deep in thought....I pray God enlighten us
Thank you so much ma for your thoughtful comment
God bless you ma'am🙂

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
