Here in worlds great sea of light
I did only seek out the night
For there is where I feel at ease
When I see shadows below my knees
And there is where I shall stay
In the blackness of today
A pill and cotton sheets
Will not make me see defeat
It is only you that's mad
The world is rotten, gone bad
You think I'm crazy, force me pills
But black will be what my heart feels
The blessed feelings of depression stains
The darkened force never wains
I want to be here never more
Not behind this hospice door
Run from my windows light
To be with the holy night
Where no day begs for sunrise
And I can say my final goodbyes
No more do I love life
But I will not wield the knife
Let the darkness take what it bore
And let me see deaths blackened door
In a list

Wow...deep, true emotion, let me be, let me go free into the light. Well done. Blessings.

Ah the darkness of a dimly lit night, that is where so many can move freely as it is without a heavy heart. The light comes at a premium when it comes to price, it is much harder to do what you must than to do what you will.
Let the darkness fester so long as you do not abolish life itself for what would life be if not a constant struggle for balance between the Dark and the Light.
I like it, I like it so!

No more do I love life
But I will not wield the knife
I feel the pain for life sometimes
is more than all can bear

That was well writen. Exrepsses the deep need to retreat into the dark and i detect a hint of thirsting for death as well. Best of luck in the contest.
