Depression

A pall of darkness overshadows my existence 
     I am a mummy wrapped in worthless thoughts
             sinking in the devil's quicksand of hell.

Powerful poetry, Laura. It's as real as real can get. I love it, although the gothic ambience others may fear. I dig your style of poetry very much. A soul-piercing poem. Love and smiles to you.
