Tears drip silently unspoken
as depression crashes inside
sinking roots within the skin
spilling sorrow from the unseen wounds, surrounding me
my brain beats louder than a drum
pounding the suffering
entwining with depression
drowning all self-confidence
in an eight inch puddle of blood
that resides within the mind
flaying the skin of happiness
cries and pleads for a soul to help
before I pass out from the pain
but no soul can hear the screams
when they are internal
so I'll sit here and wither
and pray for a brand new day
to come and take me over

If it wasn't a serious theme, or if we take it as entirely fictional - oooh, a really bad hair day there!
I should put that flaying thing down - it looks dangerous to me - and let's have a nice cuppa tea and slice of cake. We can talk about things, It could help! (heehee).
Oops - that taken the edge of the atmosphere off this poem?!
It made me smile lol thanks for commenting
But seriously - I can understand how it can bring 'enjoyment' to some, in their depression.
I've heard a few tales I wish I had not heard, in some counselling groups, that make me shudder. Not to be escapist though, as these things happen sadly.
Difficult to feel depressed , I understand . I felt depressed and sad most of yesterday . And even sad this morning . Life can get us so down … and it does affect our confidence when we feel like this
An expressive writing ) sorry you feel like this
Thank you for commenting I appreciate your words of kindness
That’s ok . I’m supposed to go out the house today .. but it feels easier to hide . Could you maybe comment on my latest poem ?
Something real from you. Well written expression of the tumult inside a mum..... perhaps like the proverbial duck who looks calm and serene on the surface but beneath the waterline those feet are paddling for all they are worth.
Thanks dusk
