The Depression Ball

There comes a great darkness A time full of sad And nothing makes sense And the world spins round mad. I sit all alone In my world full of dark And the madness it spins And my outlook is stark. The more that it spins Is the more that I fall Then I twist and I turn As my world becomes dull. And it hurts and I'm scared As I feel nothing at all Except the dark grey sadness Of the depression ball. I hear all the voices They scream in my head You are worthless and nothing You're better off dead. I fight and I struggle To keep it at bay Every moment becomes darker As the night ends my day. I slowly slip down Into the dark world of mad And I let it take over The darkness and the sad.

Thank you. I think a lot of people have gone through depression at some point in their lives. It's something not a lot of people talk about though.

It is not sensible to be sad and depressed while you have such a mouthwatering poetic gift. If your environment is full of depressants, get a flight to some island and have your full measure of solitude there. I'm falling in love with your well-written nuggets and will be reading them daily. All the best and congrats. 7+++!!!

I have clinical depression, so this is my reality some days! I also have several poems (not posted yet) along the lines of this one! It's hard to explain depression to those who clinically do not have it! Great poem!
