Depression issues

[zigs]

As for those who are not aware I have a brother named Jett...
A about a month ago he was shot in the shoulder (Through and Through) but remember this has happened before... And if it wasn't for something... He'd be dead.
He has been seperated from the world, and children his age don't understand him because of his incredibly high IQ.
I thought he was fine till I found this poem.. And even my father doesn't know how to approach this situation...

It's called:

Universe

I lay dimensionless in my wake
The world is separate like a tattered quill
No one
No one to see in this dim half life
My hand moves from the futile blanket
My bleeding arms coming to my awkward sight
My eyes are weeping with lukewarm tears
And my heart aches like a ridged stone barricade
The cold Earth thinks nothing of my peril
The cold Earth thinks nothing
The trepidation and silence construct in my soul
As the light fades into the inevitable darkness
I move slowly
I move laboriously
I move as whirling emotions pause with anxiety
The suspension thrills the nerves of dusk
And trickling tears glimmer with crystal hate
I lie alone like a foetus on my bloodshed bed
Deep wounds pierce the flesh
Pierce my carnage soul
The silver moon light illuminates my torn skin
The buckshot once removed
Remains in my mind
Poisoning memories and thoughts
Laying in my isolated haven
I lift my exhausted arm
Feeling the mental bruises across my face
I find my life slowly twisting away
My hair drained of means
Energy encased with daggers
No one knows my blood loss
No one knows my ache
The odour of sickly spirits
Moves without haste around my room
The shell locked door begins to move
Closer to myself
The ceiling falls effortlessly
Oxygen sapped from the area
The darkness continues to grow
Like flowers in bloom
I fall quickly
I fall silently
Into another prolonged slumber
Into another lonesome place
How long should I reside here?
Do you concern?
But may I remind you
You don’t know who you are
As I don’t recognize myself…


This one I am not sure about:


Once still is

A beauty as yours confines itself into a deepened hole
A beauty is one you have and have alone
Your gentle nature proceeds life
And gives back more to give
You’re alone in your splendour
Alone as a human goddess
You’re not here anymore
Not here to heal thy wounds of brethren
I don’t know you anymore
But I can still recognise your face
I still recognise the magic in your words
You still take the Earth’s breath away

But why have you gone?
Why am I d**ned to this infernal world alone?
You’re cursed nature and your favoured life
Brings my empire down
You bring me down to glory
The glory of Gods and Kings
You bring me down to Heaven
Because I have been lifted so far
You come back without question
Your smile lighting thy hearts
Please don’t go again
I can’t stand to be apart…


And... Finally:


Take it

Take me seriously
I am not a child
Take me as I am
You’re not me
You have no choice
Take it from me
Intelligence isn’t all that
I’d rather be an idiot
In a baseball cap
Take me as I am
I have athletic approach
But I’d rather be handicapped
Than jogging home
Take me seriously
When I say don’t rush
I’m only human
Only a boy
Only someone you know
Take me as I am
I wouldn’t as more of you
Take it from me
Guns aren’t what everyone says
Take me seriously
When I say…

I don't know what to say about any of these... they all give off a negative vibe... Help...
Sorry if any of this alarms you

woah erm i dunno what to say

[Haunter 360]

I gotta say... Those are certainly powerfully strong poems, even if they're negative.
I never wrote stuff like that when I had a couple of cases of depression... Though I gotta say, I wasn't suffering with the same problems.


I guess all you can really do right now, is be there for Jett, and let him know that you are.
Darkness and suffering can't be avoided, but it can be divided into smaller pieces, if someone else helps.

The best thing to do Zigs, is to help your brother get through this.
Just... Be there for the guy. Help him cope, okay?
You'd be surprised how helpful it can be, when someone actually makes an effort on your behalf.

... Well, you probably already KNOW that, but just in case you didn't, y'know?

I've had plenty of problems with depression and anger before, but I see you're dealing with something a bit worse than a few idiots being bullies. Just hang in there, we're all here for you and we're not going anywhere.

It got worse last night...
I found Jett quivering on his bed, and his legs had been cut and bled all over his bed.
To be honest I had nothing to do but run over and hold him, he was crying and shivering, my dad knows about it, but he's been out on business all day. Jett hasn't been talking much, even when I try to ask him about it, or even nothing about it actually...
I found several more poems, but in all honesty I don't think anyone wants to read them...

hmmm... the first one gives me a sence of lonliness, and suffering alone..... THe second has yet another feel of lonliness, but it seems either he was rejected or betrayed by someone in your family, hense the word "bretheren"... Mabe someone who has a girlfriend? "A beauty as yours confines itself into a deepened hole A beauty is one you have and have alone"...... The last is about not being taken seriously, ao mabe someone accidentally said something offensive to him??? and the theme of lonliness is still in there......


I recommend that you tell him that he is not alone in this and that he has supporters. Then, listen to what he has to say.

He's just been nursed by the girl that it is going on about in Once still is.
I believe its about how she used to be his best friend but then disappeared slowly.
Universe is an actual event, as I have just seen marks on his arms resembling cuts.
Jett is friends with someone with a mental disorder, a few days ago, this boy said he'd give anything to be smart like Jett, whereas, Jett said he'd give anything to be disabled...
I have just been saying how he's alone and how he can talk to me about anything...
He simply looked away... It's normal because he's autistic, but it isn't like this most the time...
