Depression

By: S.N

Dreams destroying my sleep 

How can hurt reach so deep?

Waking up is too much effort

Sleep is a luxury I can't afford

Depression overwhelms my soul

Deep darkness, a big, black hole

Sadness eats it way through my heart

Where does it end, where did it start?

No one can understand this pain

Nothing to lose, nothing to gain

Lost in a never ending maze

Every moment just a dizzy daze

Why does it have to be me?

If only the future I could see

Afraid of shadows in the dark

Will I ever make my mark?

Unseen tears flowing from my heart.

I must go on, play my part

Life has to continue for today

Living my life, come what may

So much to be thankful for

How can I ask for any more?

I just wish this could go away

For me to have a natural day

To know that I'm not the only one

Helps a little, but it's no fun

Even God seems oh, so far away

Who can brighten up my day?

So tired of fighting this feeling

My mind just spinning and reeling 

I hate these pills I have to take

Makes me feel my life is just a fake

What can I do, where can I go?

Stumbling around, to and fro

Wondering when this will end

Isn't there an angel He can send?

Not much more to say for now

Just wondering how, how, how

Again pulling myself together

Hoping that this won't last forever
