I wish I could vomit out the darkness
That creeps inside my soul
I wish I could cry the tears
That would crack my heart of coal
I wish I could find relief
In the deepest parts of the sea
And the silence would be thunderous
And cleanse myself of me
I wish I could disappear
Inside the great abyss
And never come out of there
Become part of its nothingness
But most of all I wish
I could find some cheer
Some sort of brightened way
Where I no longer had to fear
And Death would take me away
Where madness could not prey
Author notes
Not one of my best, but this helps me when I'm depressed.

My dear Poet, you write so beautifully, and your emotions just pour through; the background is perfect for the contrast of depression and the brightness of your writing. I'm so glad it helps you to write -- how would any of us survive if we couldn't write? I have two suggestions: You don't really need the word "open" in the last line of the first stanza -- and leaving it out, IMHO, makes a better meter. And in the last line of the third stanza, you should use "its" without the apostrophe; "it's" means "it is." Please remember, you have many readers like me who really care about you, and we want you to keep writing! Best wishes always.
