Depression

My soul

frowns as 
it drowns

 in the floods
of a broken
heart

tearing me
apart

must the
pain

remain
in me

you see

happiness
stays inside

but

theres still
days 
where sadness
resides

it hides

for a while

but

when it creeps
i paint a 
smile

up and down
days

in and out
phase

cut wrist
death wish

then i see
light

future bright

in the
stillness

of my
illness

i try to
figure
me out

my conclusion...

is pure
confusion
