I am no one here.
I am nothing.
If I shut my eyes,
Would I disappear?
I am breathing,
Yet, do not feel right.
Eyes open with no fear,
I grasp at any light.
But, darkness comes near.
Soon, I'm releasing
All my empty life
Into the void of drear.
And it feels so right.
There is no remedy here.
No turning round in time.
Only the beating,
In melancholy night,
Of a heart pleading
A sorrowful crown of mine.

- Comment from author about the poem: It can be hard for people to express how depression feels. How debilitating it is or all consuming it can be. I dont get to share my battle with my family and friends. Those who go through it would probably agree just how difficult it is to make anyone understand. There are numerous reasons it occurs. For me, a huge contributing factor is chemical. With so many issues with autoimmune and endocrine disease, I have little control. Personally, medication is important, no vital, to my success in this fight. Just hold on. Thank you so very much for your time.
