Break Down
A poem I wrote while suffering severe depression in 2013.
Wounded and weary,
I fall to my knees.
Crying, you hear me,
But pay me no heed.
I bleed from the outside,
Shatter and break.
Nothing, I can't hide,
For my life's own sake.
The cuts become crimson,
My tears freeze over.
This world is my prison,
And Death is my lover.
I scream out for mercy,
But no one will listen.
Dear Lord forgive me,
I just can't take it in.
One final gasp,
A cry for redemption.
A hand for me to grasp,
As I fall into oblivion.
Once more I die,
And become black inside.
"Father forgive me!" I cry,
But the rules I don't abide.
I wish it was over,
And I was six feet under.
Don't cry when I'm gone,
For I won't need your tears.
Breaking down, you see me,
And ignore my pain.
One of these days,
You will feel the same.
And when that day comes,
I won't be there for you.
So you'll scream and cry,
Just like you left me to do.

Hi, my name is Elizabeth. What I write can be a bit sad, as I've suffered from depression, and honestly still fight it every day. Writing has helped a lot with it though, and hopefully, my words will be able to move you, even a little bit.
