Deep

DEPRESSION
DEEP
DARK
OBLIVIOUS
ALONE
IN A WORLD OF TURMOIL.


ARMS ABOUT MYSELF,
HEAD DOWN CAST.


MISERY'S COMPANY
HAS FOUND ME AGAIN.
I HEAR YOU TALKING
HAPPY THINGS ,
I SEE ONLY SHADOWS.


TO SLEEP
IS MY ESCAPE,
LEAVING BY MY CHOICE
IS NOT AN OPTION ,
FOR GODS WRATH
I DO NOT SEEK.


I LIVE HERE
IN THIS WORLD ALONE ,
WHERE HORROR
DOES SLOWLY CREEP.


COLDNESS
QUICKLY SEEPS THROUGH,
THE RECESSES OF MY BRAIN ,
BRINGING ME;
DOWN
DOWN
DOWN
TOO SINK LOWER ,
WOULD MOST CERTAINLY BE DEATH .
A SHIMMERING SMILE OF HAPPINESS,
FROM TWO ANGELS
I AM BES-TOWN .
WITH THE RAYS OF LIGHT
FROM THEM ,
THE SHADOWS
BEGIN TO UNFURL .


BUT UPON A STORM OF LIFE ,
MY BRAIN IS DOESN'T SWIM ,
AND I FEEL MYSELF SINKING,
DEEP DOWN AGAIN.

    i don't know what your illness is my dear but know that you are in my thoughts now as this is a very emotional write and puts it all out there. i know what it's like to feel like you are just treading water and not sure you're going to make it but trust me....you seem very strong and people much weaker than you have pulled through....please don't take that staement the wrong way....all i'm trying to say is that you seem (by reading some of your poems) like a very strong-willed....caring person and i know you'll overcome this

    congrats on the silver in this contest....be well and be blessed

    Powerful words

    I can understand how you feel as I also feel this way most of the time. Great write keep it up and good luck in my contest. I find that writing helps me keep a perspective hope it helps you as well. So just remember that you are not alone.

    Deep and powerful emotions

    There is a light on the other side of life. Not all is darkness, for a long time I to felt like is was sinking and drowning. Wonderful ray of emotions and profound feeling and so dark. (LISA)
