Paul White Poet Rhyme

I LIVE DARKNESS

Help me I am lost and I cannot see as the darkness of depression is 
washing over me

The daylight of happiness has faded and the darkness 
has invaded my mind

I walk looking for a way to get out but the exit I seek is in the darkness
and impossible to find

I walk in this darkness feeling broken hearted
I seem to walk for hours but I end up where I started

There are voices I can hear but the voices are in my head
are these the voices of the living or the voices of the dead

I call into the darkness but there is no reply 
I am scared of this darkness and I do not want to die

Is this how I must live my life in darkness and in pain
A life filled with unhappiness never to see the light again.
