The Giving Sleep of Depression

4 a.m.
and I hope that sleep is near
I can't take much more
of what I put myself through
every little thing sets me off
I hate me
I love you
but the crying is coming
the tears begin to rise
I am sorry
for the things I shout at you
I wish that I was wise
happiness has always been an echo
so far into the distance
away from the light
life winds and turns
through a long abandoned wood
hazy is that winding path
and I don't know if I can make it
if I will make myself fall
into the trees
without you
or will I take you with me
my sleeping angel
its like the walls are caving in
and the water is rising
here comes the crying
that I can not stop
Oh how I wish I could believe in God
to have something to lean on as you slumber
I don't deserve you
even when you hurt me
I can only love you
but here I am tearing myself apart
5 a.m.
its still dark
like the shadows in my heart
that claw at my soul
I want so much to fall asleep
but I wont try
I will just sit here
wallowing in this self-hatred like I always do
feeding myself lies
wanting to believe
but wanting more to die

Author notes

This is the depression part of my bipolar setting in. I need sleep, but I need comfort more...

    HOW CAN I HELP

    Jessica,
    There are people out here that care about you. The human mind is very destructive thing. I will destroy you faster than you or anyone else can do physically. I came to touch with the fact that my mind is my demon. And I don't think you fall far from that same tree. I feel for you I wish there is something more that I could do to help.

    I'm here for along with the rest of your AP frirnds and favs.

    KEEP YOUR HEAD UP

    touching

    Devotion, your need in life is to be unconditionally loved for whom you are, not whom you think you are or who others believe you to be, but 'you' , the real you. All the other desires are just wants.
