Swimming in this great empty abyss of depression
Lost inside the vast cavern of my mind
Void of emotions and senses
I seem to find myself beaten and blind
Numb to all the pain you caused me
I am closed in my own little world inside my head
Too many tears i have cried over you
And too much blood has been shed
My body motionless and beaten
Motivated to do nothing but watch my own demise
Even though i wear this fake smile
There is nothing behind these crystal blue eyes
Choking on the rancid bile
Steadily rising from within
I hate this feeling but need to be punished
I swallow down more gin
Cold sweat breaks out all over my skin
And the shaking just wont stop
My legs cant seem to support my weight
And my body begins to flop
Now laying lifeless on the cold damp floor
This is the end, the end of my pain
My soul escapes my body's hold
And finally breaks free of the chain

Been feeling really down at the moment and this poem just kinda flowed out.

What powerful imagery. I really felt like I was there living through the pain and emotions. Perhaps this could have been my story. Well done.

This is a really interesting poem, so full of emotion and imagery but yet so drawn back. Its a good one though especially with the rhyming scheme.
