Title: The Agony of Depression

Poem: The darkness creeps
in like a cold wind
through a drafty window,
surrounding my body
with its icy fingers.

A demon''s clawed hands
rip the bloody innards
of my soul to shreds.
My mind lies in a dead
sea of sorrow, waves
washing away my sanity.

Rotting carcasses lie
strewn, slaughtered, in my
foggy field of awareness,
proving that fettering
hopelessness fosters
death and decay.

Devastating misery sends
resoundingly negative signals
through my tortured brain.
Nothing to do but wait
for the deadly meds to
dispel the darkness.

Please let it be soon...
I''m drowning in the abyss.
Please let it be soon....
