Depression

I recently had quite a bad stint with the blues and on some or other scary level it inspired my to write a poem about it. It is a bit dark but totally shows how I feel about this. Here goes, my first attempt at poetry and that even with some dark subject matter.

Depression

I am sinking,
deeper and deeper,
into this black hole of despair.

The darkness surrounds me,
like a blanket of black snow.
It chills me to the bone,
and fills my soul with pointless pain.

The darkness are my friend,
it is my solitude and refuge.
A place to hide, a place to fade,
a place to change and dissolve into a liquid of pure sorrow.

They stuff me full of pills,
and my safe darkness disappear.
I am left in the uncaring light,
I can see but I cannot feel.

Pills may take away the dark,
but they steal your heart.
I would rather be sad and dark,
than light and numb.

There it is my ode to depression.
