The Pain of Depression
I tried to lose my deep ebon shadow,
it resounds as I hold onto my dark woe-
releasing all my fears brings more,
I am always just as hopeless as before.
Shall I close my true and helpless door...
or start to fight my one internal foe.
Depression creeps and I cannot sleep,
I’m sickened by this secret that I keep-
Emptiness gathers and fills my soul,
I wither as heartache has taken its toll.
My heart is as black as diamond coal.
I know in the depths I must take the leap.
Put to shame with only myself to blame,
for I am a pitiful dame without a name-
I longed to be quenched by love’s thirst,
but I always ended up being the worst.
When will I begin to put myself first?
Without self-love I shan’t be the same.
I am saddened daily from hell’s breath,
I fear that soon I shall find my death.
