Deep inside where nothing's fine,
emptiness lives, sadness reigns.
Unworthy and worthless,
no signs of hope remain.
The silence grows loud,
but no sounds are heard.
Leaving nothing untouched,
it's all been destroyed.
Confusion and solitude,
are one in the same.
Uncertain and desperate,
full of disdain.
The torment so vivid,
torture and pain.
We'd laugh if we'd could,
but there's nothing to gain.
Haunted by loneliness,
alone and afraid.
Exiled by fear,
condemned to the void.
Wishing for sunshine,
despair fills the air.
Foreboding apprehension,
seeps from your pores.
Seeing freedom is painful,
while your locked away.
Trapped in your mind,
pretending to live.
Playing games with the self,
to get through the day.
Making deals with your god
to show you the way.
Waves of insanity,
crash through your head.
Abundance of apathy,
sucks your last breathe.
Hollow and twisted
Dark and ugly --
yes I have depression
…no I just can't get over it!

Thank you for posting @macksby.
Your poem is expressive, thought provoking and brings to mind that we are human, fragile and weak. Man is too weak to be either good or evil on his own. Man needs God and His plan for man in order to be good or defaults to Satans plan of evil.
May one leave you with this....For you see, The God loved the world so much that He gave His uniquely born Son that anyone who believes on Him shall not perish but have eternal life. from the original language of Greek, John 3.16
One is also reminded of the Eagles song...Learn to be Still. The lyrics provoke thought. How did we get to here?
Wishing you God's best.
Thanks @bluejay... I appreciate your very thoughtful comment. And, I love the Eagles!
I know these feelings all to well, Mack.
Hang in there buddy, I've got your back!
Hey bro... Appreciate the sentiment -- but Im all good.
That makes me smile, glad to hear it!
But my comment still stands. I've got your back either way!
Right back, atcha'!
I'm there too right now. You aren't alone.
How sweet... Im sorry to hear you understand, so well. There is strength in numbers :))
Yes. As always you put a feeling into words beautifully. I hope you feel better soon.<3
You feel better, too -- soon :))
That is how it feels, @macksby
And can slip in at any time... Thanks @fairytalelife
You describe it very well, @macksby. I suffered from depression/anxiety when I was younger and it's like having a heavy anchor chained to your soul. Good job!
Thanks @ericvancewalton... Meditation and a good yoga practice are depression killers, as Im sure you are, well aware.
For sure, @macksby. There's no silver bullet but they do help tremendously!
Wow! You describe it so well, taking the reader with you every step. I felt every word - that is how well we are all connected. Stay steadfast!
Thanks @linzo, for that very generous comment. Your sentiments, are very much appreciated. Will do!
