I'M Lost

I’m sitting alone all by myself
Dark clouds of depression 
All gather around
They well up beside me
And take over my mind
The world that is out there
Is lost in some time

I called out in a void
But there is no one to hear
And the pain in my chest
Is so loud and so clear

Why can’t you hear me?
I cry out in vain
There is so much noise here
I’m going insane

And the hole where I’m found in
Grows darker and darker
And the clouds move in closer
And rip out my heart

But my mind is so calm
And my being does not stir
My life is a torment
I really don’t care

The clouds are so tight now
I can hardly move
And the thing that was me
Succumbs to the mood

And slowly so slowly
My body is crushed
All life form escaping
In some silent hush

I lay shattered and broken
With no love left at all
Just tears of depression
And a mistrust of all.
