The Darkness Returns
Depression Awareness Poetry
I know it is there
Sleeping I was unaware
Slowly it fills me
Never shall I be free
Again, I can see the black
I know for sure it is back
I will soon go numb
Nothing I can do
But wait and twiddle my thumb
Never should I have allowed myself to hope
Why bother?
There is no reason to cope
I can feel my heart crying
Crying but knowing the tears will never come
Again the cutting has started
Again the poetry has begun
I feel no fear for the unknown
My hear sinks lower
I know what is to come
There is only one reason I would hold on
But it is not worth it
I fear it too will be gone
I know my time will soon come
Already, I have started to go numb
And so I look at you and say
I'm sorry
I can no longer stay
Already I am dying
For you, my hear will always be crying
If ever you need me
In your mind, you can see me
And in your heart, you can feel me
