Emile Pinet Poet Verse

Deep Depression

A sullen sadness saturates my heart and soul:
nothing, outside of death, warrants a smile.
                          Hope lies 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'm nothing, but
                            a speck of dust.
