Inside Myself.

I stand before you so alone,

My body a wreck of skin and bone,

My mind is fighting every thought,

My whole being so distraught,

The empty eyes that look at you,

Dejection cuts me right in two,

Dried up tears that stain my face,

No longer part of the human race,

Frustration builds from inner core,

Anguish spills from every pore,

Reaching for that helping hand,

Amazed at how many don't understand,

I wither and die a bit more each day,

My life is in total disarray,

My passion is now an extinct flame,

I sit and play the waiting game,

To see an end to all my tears,

To live when this darkness disappears.

    I thought that you captured the feelings and thoughts of depression really well and you conveyed your experience in a wonderful piece of poetry. I could not possibly pick out my favourite line or couplet but i would just like to point out that i thought your opening was particularly strong and really expressed depression well. I also thought that your final line was a wonderful ending. I also wanted to say congratulations on a great rhyming piece, It is a while since i have read a piece that rhymed and this flowed really well. Great Work.

    A beautiful job here, it's so sad how many of us live with depression, and others just expect us to snap out of it. Great job with the piece, and good luck in the contest hun.
