The Deep Side of Depression
A deep and dark hole without an end
Filled with spirits that did offend.
Guilt builds up like a tower
Your, life and soul it doth devour.
Fears so frightening but without a face
Overwhelming till you stay in place.
With emptiness so deep you start to rot;
Happiness and joy you've long forgot.
What power you had drifted away;
Hopeless feelings have come to stay.
Years of memories have all but gone.
Time with your children all withdrawn.
Peaceful sleep a thing of the past;
Nightmares so real they leave you aghast.
Loneliness exists amongst a crowd;
Blackness and gloom worn like a shrowd.
Loud voices and noises make the air pound,
But silence so intense it totally surrounds.
Your life and existence becomes meaningless
As your family and friends to you become comfortless.
You abuse yourself to stop the pain,
But as much as you try it's always in vain.
You wonder if you'll ever see light again
And for the old days you have a yen.
With depression your whole life starts to change
Into some other dimension that seems so strange.
There really is light at the end of that hole
Though it may take years and a hefty toll.
Keep searching and reaching out the help that's there
It's only around the comer and so very near.
