"HAUNTED"; An heartfelt poem.

Source

I've lost my soul
In the depth of my thoughts
I am chained in a hole
with a great padlock.
I can look but I don't see
and I can't swim this deep blue Sea.

I need'st must find my soul,
save my twitchy bones.
For I am threatened with Oblivion
and since my muse is gone
I can't write my encounters
without hurting myself.

How can no one notice
I am a dead man walking,
I can't even feel.
It seems everyone is blind
or we're as well all trapped.

I've lost my soul
in the depth of my thoughts,
I am chained by the memories
that I'd forgot.

I wrote this poem years back when I was still suffering from depression and somehow felt like sharing it with you.
I'd like to encourage you to reach out to as many you know have given up hope on life, that feeling is very bad and should be obliterated, it makes one think very less of his/herself. Show such people lots of love and not criticism.
And most importantly, help them understand that happiness is a choice, we all go through rough times at one point or the other in our lives. It's just the level of love and happiness we're feeling at that point that determines our mood.

It took me years to overcome depression because my Mum who happened to be my very close friend (she listened to my songs, poems, practically everything I could come up with and gave positive remarks and hints on improvement even when it's not her style or in her favour) just died and I was alone.

It was during this time that I got close to my little brother although after many fights, lol.
And it was really great cause he opened my eyes to things I probably didn't notice before and I got to know the interesting personality behind my blood.

Do spread the love my friends, even when it's not returned....... Thanks in advance, and thanks for stopping by.
