Deep in Depression Believe it or not,
There's a place to stop,
After so much sorrow.
A point where you go completely numb.
Every once in a while,
The world comes by trying to knock me down again.
But I don't shread a tear,
For I have nothing to fear.
Nothing to lose,
Nothing to gain.
Some people wonder why and how I don't cry,
But I don't feel an ounce of pain.
Nothing even hurts anymore,
Because I have nothing left.
I lost everything that was worth suffering.
Now I'm starting again,
Maybe its for the best...
But you can't hurt me now,
Because I have nothing left.
I sat back in the "safe zone"
Playing it all wrong, leaving out all rest.
I got sedated,
I was over rated,
I turned down what was best.
Now I'm standing here
With frozen tears that won't roll down my face.
Sometimes I wonder why,
I even tried,
I wish I could leave this place.
The cards I played were a dangerous game,
Now I lost everything
And I'm to blame.
I had no principles,
Thought I was invincible,
Now I sit alone feeling nothing.
But you can't hurt me now,
Because I have nothing left,
You can't hurt me now...
Nice poem
You know, what scares me sometimes is when I am happy because I could be hurt easily. But when I'm down and feeling numb, I welcome all pains because they can't hurt me anymore, considering that if you are in the basement, you connot go down further.
Nicely penned.
Poppy's situation is different though because some are not allowing her to just lie down in the basement to lick her wounds. She wanted to forget, forgive, she even begged for forgiveness to be at peace, but even down the lowest peak of her life, that was denied to her. We all have our own struggles and pains. I suffered in my youth too but they are in the past and I am not as brave as Poppy sharing her unpretentious poetry for all of us to learn something from what she wrote. That makes us all unique individuals.
Keep writing
