Darkness Of Life

Every morning I wake up, Depression blanketing me. It feels like I'm unable To get away or be free. I don't know if I can Keep doing this anymore. Every day seems to become Even more of a chore. I don't know how to get better. I can't escape this dark place. I can no longer keep This fake smile on my face. Life keeps getting worse More and more each day. I have no clue how to Stop it or make it go away. Every day this darkness Finds its way inside of me, Constantly tormenting me. Why won't it let me be? I don't have the strength To pick myself up off the floor, And I don't think I want To save myself anymore.

Brilliantly done, you cast the truth that others cannot speak of, and yet, you write such truth might ignite hope. Keep on going, for life is full of love, brother. Your poetry style can capture the essence of life.

Take each day as it comes. Put the bad days down to experience. Revel in the good times. That's what keeps me going.

A very relatable poem, the weight seems unbearable most days, but you just got to keep going, keep penning those lines. A powerful piece, well done.

I feel this way every day. I hope someday we lift ourselves, or someone lifts us. I pray we have a great day despite these things weighing us down.

Hello Mathew Sturgeon, i just read this poem and to me it sounds like you are depressed. When i get that way, I listen to calming music. I read up lifting quotes. This helps to to get back to myself. It is nice to meet you. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene/
