Depression

Alone, deep in the abyss

Drawing an anguished breath

That leaves my soul amiss

And a feeling of being close to death

I continue falling into the void

Infinite darkness surrounds me

Where I will inevitably be destroyed

Along with the musings of Sigmund Freud

I’m frozen and standing still

While everyone else moves

Am I the creation or do I have free will

This is the place that must be hell

Unable to get out of bed

As absolute darkness swallows me whole

How is this any different from being dead

Please unleash my tormented soul

Darkness, shadow, gloom, and despair

If only an angel will hear my prayer

Hopeless, angst, sadness, and sorrow

Maybe I’ll have a better tomorrow

Some days it feels as though

I’m not much more than this

This is all I will ever know

Alone, deep in the abyss
