Poem
 
depression is tearing me apart... no matter what pills i take... it just does not work... last night i wrote this... and i need to share it with someone... it does not matter who....

a piano from a distance
playing a soothing requiem
the weeping of mourners
echoing in each string
the bloodstained keys
by deepening grief stricken
by languid fingers struck
the horror draws near
pupils dilate with fear
capillaries to the surface come
bloodshot my eyes become
darkness cuddles me
in its cradle of shadows
and sings a lullaby to me
of eternal elusive sleep

Lovely poem.  Very emotional.  Thank you.

Please get help for your depression.  Do not allow depression to ruin your life.  I lived with it for 10 years, and then got help, and it was amazing.  I began living again.

Life has too many beautiful sides to it to let depression cloud everything else beyond recognition. Let it all out through your poetry, give yourself time... and the lullaby you hear will become a pleasant one and give you rest in the night, to wake up eagerly to see the new day...

thank you for all your warm comments... both these comments and the private messages... the psychiatrist told me to spend some time in a mental hospital... but I can �t right now... I still have final exams to take... but once I �m done with college for this year, I will go there... that is my last resource... if that doesn �t work... I am not sure what path I will take...
