Sometimes I feel dead....

Sometimes I feel dead inside,
No matter how hard I seem to try the feeling is always deep down for it cannot hide,
My body aches as my soul dies,
The flame that was once ignited is far from bright,
When I lay down to rest the nightmares are what remind me I'm still alive for the pain is so unbearable sometimes I wish I would just die,
I will look at everyone with a smile on my face because nobody should have to see the demons I face,
This is a condition for which there is no true cure,
But I know I'll be ok as long as my heart remains pure,
The road is long and the sky is dark,
But I feel like where I belong is among the stars,
Traveling through galaxies and visiting all the worlds,
Riding meteors and passing by the moon sometimes I wish I could I could see you too,
There are days I feel good but also days I feel like I can't move,
The feeling of drowning in my thoughts and the emotions that follow,
The heart speaks but it is the words that follow these words that follow flow like a river can even be just as cold,
My past haunts me every waking moment like a curse cast by my greatest foe,
My battle with depression comes in all shapes and forms,
I just hope that one day I can build up the nerve to win the ever-lasting battle that is inside my head.
