Searching within for some light of hope
Seeing only my own dark reflection
Lonely years.....broken dreams.....

There is nothing.......

Looking deeper, desperate now
There must be some light among the dark
A shred of joy from some forgotten past
Something.....anything....

There is nothing.......

I feel it now, the darkness within
Sadness, despair, the emptiness
Loneliness has consumed my very soul
And now....I know.....

There is nothing

You need to escape the traps of phrases such as "broken dreams", "loneliness has consumed my very soul", "seeing my own dark reflection"

I love the repetetion of "there is nothing...", I think your work ties together beautifully, I just think this needs to be toyed with a little more to be a complete poem that fully portrays your message.

great write, the darkness of it really showed up... it got darker and darker the further you read... a lot of poets use their darkness quota up in the first stanza and the rest sound out of place... good job on this though

in my personal opinion i don't think you need to avoid any of the phrases you've used. the poems fits together beautifully and you've portrayed what you want amazingly.

A fabulous write that really pins the tail on severe depression. I believe many would find these words relatable. I know I have seen that portrait of myself in the past.

I like the choral repetition and the honesty of the words. Been there.
Watch your caps on I.
