Depression in its Splendour Date: Thursday, 1st April 2004 @ 04:49:28 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: afraid_of_fear Addictions, conflictions and all this regret Memories of realities I wish I could forget Paracetamol, Prozac and all those numbing things Razorblades, raindrop tears, and all the painful stings Purple scars, empty thoughts and endless dreary paths Despairing screams, frustrated cries (and cold, weary laughs) Psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists Self-harm records and self-help lists Isolation, complications, unfamiliar noises Fear, panic attacks and undecided choices Recollections of bandages and bloodied steri-strips Cynicism, criticism, and complicated friendships I’m tiring of these obsessions and false confessions I just want out of this suffocating depression This poem is Copyright © afraid_of_fear Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
