Loneliness Comes In Blues

Loneliness comes in blues
                                 Mood strikes serotonin falls
                                   Night is on snake venom
                                       Burning like coals.

                                           I am alone
                                           I am alone
                                       Where's my wife?
                                       Where's my son?
                                          Who cares?
                                    The world is on shares.

                                  Curtain of depression falls
                                     I am in rabbit whole
                                       Cutting my souls
                                    Neurons are in brawls
                                     On all my existence
                                  Scroll of depression rolls.




NOTE:
This is a true story. 2001. I suffered a bout of depression. I felt extreme loneliness. But this was a symptom of my disease. In fact my wife and my son did everything they could.

I can relate to the lonely feelings you've expressed here. I think all of us go through times like this.... My aunt also suffers from depression and it has not been easy for my family to watch her go through that.... I wish you the best of luck in Frank's contest. Great work, Rajat!

Rajat My Very Good Friend!! Best of Luck in the contest with this write. Your rhyme narrative is quite compelling given that it is a true story. I do hope the best for you and that your recovery continues to be 100%!! A most definite "7" from me and this one's a FAV too!! (I just posted a Tanka on "Love" a few minutes ago. Your write here is about "Depression" and I ended up writing about "Love" this evening -- what a dichotomy and difference!!) Best Wishes with Love and Energy!! Gary
