Depression's Darkness

Topic: DarkPoetry



Depression's Darkness

The dark of night seeps through the window
as blood through the gauze on a festering wound.
The silence of depression fills my head and deafens my ears
My only wish. That the stealth of death will come for me soon

As moisture settles on anything that doesnt move
So it settles on my life, that hasnt moved in years
As it settles on the unmoving grass, its called dew
As it settles on my unmoving face, its called tears

Where is this Life of which Ive heard so many speak?
Where is the love that so many say they feel?
Ive heard others talk of the warmth in their hearts
Reach into my chest, feel my heart cold as steel

In a corner I sit, in a shroud of silence I cry and shiver
I wait an unending eternity for the Grim Reaper to take me
Again and again I look at the clock on the wall, not ticking
If the end doesnt come and Im dreaming, dont bother to wake me

In a world full of hate with hearts full of contempt
Dont try to tell me that life is worth living
Thick dark muck oozes from the souls of mankind
Its so hard to believe anyone ever cared about giving

Slowly and silently I settle into the ground
A little deeper into the earth with each passing year
Eventually Ill be 6 feet under, where I feel I belong
Not a soul on the planet will remember I was even here

one word describes this perfectly....intense. I could feel everything you said and I believe every word, you truly are a magnificent poet and a brilliant human being.
