Depression - a poem.
 

I've never been depressed, but I've written a poem about what I think it is like. Please tell me what you think.



From my tired eyes
do tears of molten steel
fall and scatter
like shards of ice.

The agony erodes
And shatters
My soul
Like powerful waves biting at a weakened cliff,
And destroys my heart within.

My life is without hope
Or salvation,
A saviourless battle
In the teeth of contemplation,
In the jaws of suicide.

Troubled thoughts perambulate
Through my mind.
Like fragments of unreality
Reflecting my inner turmoils.

Mine torturers and tormentors
Embrace me,
Drain me,
Leaving me devoid
Of life
And love.

I cry,
But you laugh at me.
Your very laughter slices
Like hideous blades
Through me.

Am
I
Nothing
In
Your
Eyes?
I though you loved me.

The flame of hope gutters
And is gone.
Mine life is without purpose,
Mine life is sans happiness.

From the window of my mind
Do cruel flames erupt
And dance a terrible dance,
Devouring one another.

Thoughts flee from me.
Those who hate me
Greet me in my nightmares.
I want to, I want to, I want to
Die
But I'm too weary to rest.

Bricked up in my paradiseless world,
In a permanent states of paralysis,
Reminiscent of an abyss,
A void
Of infinite nothingness
And the screams of unconsciousness.

And until it is filled
With love and security,
I can only pray
That my depression shall end.

well, depression for one person might be different from the next. I dont believe you have never been depressed. Depression is in us all. It may be contained, fortified inside yourself, but it is there.

Very nice poem.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

It's a very good poem. I know someone who suffers from depression, and I think they could relate to some parts of your poem.

Abe Babe...

That actually makes you pretty sad if you play the Aeris death music while reading that.
