Sick

I’ve stared in the heart of depression As emptiness infected me like virus Choked for years behind a smile, I have never known factual Frightened to be called weak I die inside, but with smile Thus graduating in art of falsehood As even I these smirks fool I’d imagine my inevitable tangible ending How little it would be of significance As my cold soul roved ghostly Purposeless, lost and dead Bliss drained from my very core And mornings appear hopeless Filled with finite rays of distress As the only shade seemed to be death I walk with pockets rich with smiles But nobody knew what’s inside And as the moon salutes night, This sickness circle’s my head 2012-06-05

Hi Ronny! Oh shucks, do you know that as I read this, I somehow could also relate to it? Just hiding behind smiles sometimes, when some things bother me but you just have to continue smiling-- and I think you've captured depression quite well here....hopefully this isn't reality for you anymore, and I just wish you the best, Ronny-- Thank you so much for entering this heartfelt poem in my contest and super congrats to you!

Excellent portrayal of this sickness that invades many minds in the world. My husband for one. he suffers horribly from this. I hope you do not, but if so, I pray you will find a way to deal with it!

"Oh Ronny, God has everything planned out and we cannot do it. He is doing it for us. So relax and be. He is watching over us :)). Let Him in. You're hurting because you are not real with Him as people needs Him as fish needs water. We are hurting always when we are shoving Him out. Love ya! Awesome write. Toquyen"
