Depression

Depression

Here I sit, within my room,
Darkness falling, shades of gloom,
Panic rising, fear and doom,
I need somewhere to hide.

Desperation, deep despair,
Everyone seems unaware,
“Help me someone! Don’t you care?”
I’m screaming deep inside.

At wit’s end, I just can’t cope,
Desolation without hope
Sliding down a slipp’ry slope
With dreams of suicide.

Freedom from the daily stress
Endless slumber’s sweet caress
Take the knife and gently press
My wrist’s now open wide.

Restful, peaceful, quiet bliss
My escape from the abyss
Why was my life so amiss?
No reason is implied.
