Depression

The bleak smiles
 
Endless cries
 
Days on end
 
With nothing left but lies
 
Voices occupy my mind
 
Trying hard to keep them confined
 
Infinite sadness
 
Infinite pain
 
This is how I spend my days

And some days it takes too much effort to climb out of the darkness but easier to let it flow over you smothering your very life. This is such a strong message you have written here and I hope those suffering will find the light because it is beautiful... and life is good...
