Depression

Aching loneliness
Deep despair
I'm tired of fighting
I do not care

My heart beats
beneath my breast
a blackened void
inside my chest

I feel too much
I feel too little
I am weak
I am brittle

Pain, sadness, no joy at all
I want it to stop, to cease, to end
Heart is breaking, nothing left
As I stumble, down I fall

Too late to fix
No hope, no light
A lost cause, a troubled soul
I feel so out of control

Depression sucks. Been battling it myself for years. I know poetry helps. Keep writing; I wish you ease of being. xomo
