Sometimes I sit all day, all day alone
The sadness in my heart willingly grows
Whilst I dream the day away, sometimes I wake
And compare my dreams to my current state
A state in which has no mercy
Because that knack screams ‘you deserve it’
And that knack consumes my every tissue
And when I avoid it, it crawls back to hurl ‘I missed you’
The only thing that does miss you,
And cares what impact it has
The only thing which eventually destroys you
Will always find a way to hack
Hacking itself into your mind
Hacking away your soul
A mental HIV
Leaves you asking – when will you just let me go?
But it won’t, for there is no cure.
Only something to ‘lessen the effects’
However you cannot lessen the damage all ready done
So is the battle not already won?
Won by the champions of domination
Silly dear, Here, the hero doesn’t win the prize.
In case you’ve forgotten, this is real life.
Gold goes to the bad guys
But if you believe in hope and humanity
An alternate world can offer good, no travesty
However that’s only see able in my dreams
And dreams cannot be dreamt without comparison of currents state
Even though it breaks, it feels good so, it’s okay
Everyday reaches dawn.
Every mistake personified.
Eyes dart for shooting stars.
Missed! A plane? Whatever ‘try my luck
Say.......... I Wish. I was, never. Born.
I wish I was never born
I wish I was never born
Bloody Mary say it 3 times, may come alive
Bloody unrecognisable
A step closer you’ll discover yourself glaring to the floor
Hiding your eyes, the gateways to your soul
This is what you wished for.
A lost spirit, trapped - in a mirrored wall.

WELCOME TROPICANA - Thanks for a great first poem. The structure is vibrant a single stanza "free verse" poem. There is a trace of rhyme but it pulsates with rhythm which complements the subject ! You have classified as SAD and - like you - to be forsaken by the one we desire does indeed make us wish we had never been born. Thanks for sharing - BRIAN
Thank you so much Brian! I'm glad you liked it, and also appreciate your interpretation
Your poem is not FORSAKEN.
I like your small details,e.g. the use of "all ready/already" in lines 19-20 and your subject theme...
You could explore it more...
Thank you Iysistrata, I agree I could explore it more, but I'm new to poetry writing, perhaps next time I'll structure it in iambic pentameter as emotional poems are my main forte
This is a great poem.. i can relate to the forsaken feeling

Life will do as it wants but if you ever need a hand up I will be here. Depression is hard to deal with no matter the cause. I have some tips and tricks I have picked up to help my own if you'd like them. Have a lovely day. Beautiful piece.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it, I guess depression isn't all bad, at its peak I create my most meaningful poetry!
