Deep Depression

A sullen sadness saturates my heart and soul nothing outside of death warrants a smile. Hope lays dormant; a dusty dream. I am in a dark place where there is no sunshine; a place where happiness does not exist. I skirt the fringes of reality, like a shadow of a shadow cast in darkness. Numb to all but oblivion; why would anyone rescue me? I am nothing; a speck of dust.

Emile, I see from reading below, this is a fictional write, but you have so powerfully written a very deep and convincing poem that 'paints' depression. Congratulations on your win in the contest! Sandra
