The darkness fills my mind
It chews me up
And spits me out
In this darkness
I can no longer see
I can no longer feel
I can no longer move
I can no longer breathe
I’m suffocating
In my own darkness
I can see the light
But I can never reach it
This abyss of darkness
Has claimed my life
It has claimed my soul
Why can’t anyone see my darkness?
Why won’t anyone help me walk to the light?
I can’t bare it anymore
I just want to let go
And let the darkness take over
I can’t fight anymore
I have lost the war
About The Darkness:
This poem is about depression and what it feels like to suffer from depression on a daily basis. It never really leaves you, it just hides and waits for the perfect time to attack. Sometimes it feels like the world is upside down and giving up is the only option.
It’s pretty much about what it feels like to be in a depressive episode. Where it sort of feels like the darkness is closing in on you. And it really feels like you have nowhere else to go but down. At least that’s my experience with it. I know everyone has their own experiences and descriptions of what depression feels like to them. Even personally, it can feel like a lot of different things depending on where I am at with a depressive episode.
“Depression is like a war. You either win or die trying”
