Alive?

A.C Doomcraft

I grow weary of the waking world
Each day equates to wasted time
Nobody informed me maturity is purely aquiescence
And We must Bear the shackles until well past our prime

Seething in the realisation that
Insight drives us to suffer blindness
Resign ourselves to ignorance
Because the sting of truth will kill our pride

Keep calm and carry on
A slogan i wish i could abide
But to cage the strain enrages
To hold within the bitter truth
Brings only pain in waves

Label the hollow to medicate
And fill with superficial notions
In hope the cattle forget the call
Purpose and fulfilment stolen

There is However one last freedom afforded
A last resort thats never applauded

if theres no choice but to back the lie
Maybe its Time I face the truth

Id rather lay dead than pretend I feel alive

  • Comment from author about the poem: Depression, anxiety and negative thought are killers, this poem is something I wrote at the height of depression and would like to say through positive thought and action I have mostly overcome my depression, if anyone is thinking about taking thier lives, please seek help, I am proof that you can change your mindset and there is so much to live for.
