Depression

I look around
and all I see
is darkness,
blackness,
and misery.

I cannot see
the light of day,
nor hear the singing birds.

The chirping crickets,
the rustling leaves,
I hear it not,
for I am in
my own little world.

I'm all alone
and can't get out.
They call to me,
but I cannot come.
I am trapped
in my own despair.

Darkness,
blackness,
and misery.
They lock me up
and throw away the key.
I can't get out,
this is my destiny.

It seems as if
no one cares.
I doubt if I
will ever escape.

Darkness,
blackness,
and misery
close in on me.
It is too late.
All hope is gone.
