Poem
Into a chasm of darkness, I did fall Depression wants control, it wants me in thrall The thoughts in my head, my spirit they malign My inner light doused, no longer does it shine Some have taken their time, to say a quick prayer Do they see me falling? Do they even care? The chasm is deep and wide, no end is in sight I cannot see, any relief for my plight Happiness is gone, my heart is filled with woe There is darkness above, and darkness below Into a chasm of darkness, I did fall Depression wants control, it wants me in thrall The thoughts in my head, my spirit they malign My inner light doused, no longer does it shine I remember moments, when I had great cheer They have been stolen, no longer they appear Depression cast out its net, on me it fell It wrapped me tightly, within it I now dwell From this clinging dark net, I try to take leave Each time I do, to me tighter it does cleave Will this cruel net, ever loosen its tight grip Or continually my spirit, will it whip? Into a chasm of darkness, I did fall Depression wants control, it wants me in thrall Some have taken their time, to say a quick prayer Do they see me falling? Do they even care? Others may see me, with a glint in my eye Do they hear me though, when silently I cry? They think I am fine, because I force a smile They never know, I am struggling all the while Outwardly I may be able, to fake a gleam While you will never know, inwardly I scream Into a chasm of darkness, I did fall Depression wants control, it wants me in thrall The chasm is deep and wide, no end is in sight I cannot see, any relief for my plight I continue to fall, no hope do I see This chasm of misery, I cannot flee I used to be happy, a smile on my face Then depression caught me, in its dark embrace The voices in my head, my soul they do scrape From their sharp harsh words, I can find no escape The voices they shout their insults, night and day Their only intention, happiness to slay Into a chasm of darkness, I did fall Depression wants control, it wants me in thrall Happiness is gone, my heart is filled with woe There is darkness above, and darkness below I search for a light, all the brightness is gone All I see is midnight, nowhere is there dawn My eyes search for relief, here none can be found In this dark chasm, depression has me bound I often wonder, will my fall ever end? Will my broken spirit, will it ever mend? Into a chasm of darkness, I did fall Depression wants control, it wants me in thrall
