Twenty four Memories Twilight hours so very dour When the demons invade both dreams and sleep Eternity is inviting even for a second No one knows the depths of depression To feel the desperation, the hopeless expression Yesterdays dreams decay inside my dark confessions My life so bountiful, yet filled with grief At times I smiled, for this was my cameo Life’s drama unfolded, unto the tableau Failures resounded, I was always the outsider Moments of fleeting and unforgiving pleasures Ending with thoughts that no one would treasure Massacred emotions and bloodthirsty dreams Obscured by the hopelessness and childish screams Rivers of tears, birthday candles of fear Irony would eat the cake, love never revered Escape seemed to be as hopeless as lovers whom disagree Suicide won the day and now the pain as all but gone away

wow, that is impressive in the exploration of those thoughts, hard to swallow indeed for it is raw, but very relatable

To see you write about depression is like watching that door open again for me. I want to run over and pull it shut tight. "There but for the grace of God..."

Thank you Jean, I hope by writing about such dark topics, at the very least people know they are not alone.

what deep, dark write, my dear. I can feel many of these lines resonate in my heart. Only one who has tasted depression knows the bitterness. Profound write. Sending hugs your way.
