The sun no longer shines
Rather it burns my eyes
Turns my stomach to Ashes
Deteriorates me from the inside
Night no longer brings comfort
Only a sedative to numb the war
Between the fire and blackness
Eating at my core

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is about mental illness. Daytime is painful and the depression is crippling. Nighttime brings sleep (eventually), and that is the only escape.I have from the uncomfortable pain of depression.
