Eternal Darkness in Depression

The Feeling sinks deeper

Into Your Body

Settling into the depths of your soul

Wrenching at your heart



A darkness settles along with it

Blocking out all senses

Obscuring you from the world

Loneliness seems to be the only cure



I tried to hurt myself

It didn't work

I tried to kill myself

That didn't work



I spoke to people

They couldn't help me

I was a lost soul

In a sea of sadness and despair



I regressed to a state of self-hate

Yearning to release myself

And to live life once again

To stop the never-ending darkness in my heart



Searching my soul and heart

I found the Reason

The reason for this sadness

For all the pent-up anger



For all the fears

For all the times I was frightened

About what I was doing

And where my life was going



For all the tears

For all the times I cried

For loved ones, for friends

In Solitude, alone



I wrote this poem

To symbolise my fears

To help me overcome

To help me regain me feeling of Self-righteousness

I like this one too... you can write some really sensitive and powerful stuff sometimes.
