Throes of Depression

Moonflower15

The anguish of nothingness,

Deafening silence,

The air that takes away my breath,

The voice with no name,

The brokenness that surfaces without reason

The tear that refuses to fall,

The void, the abyss,

The bleakness that consumes,

The black hole of numbess that chews away,

The heavy burden of Blah,

That presses me down,

Paralysed by my own mind,

Prisoner to its lies.

    You capture it well, a numb, empty feeling that evades capture at the time of its consumption.

    A companion that does not leave but fades from time to time.

      Amazing...
      I can't tell you for how long I felt this way. Depression is a psychological murderer. Very well written poem.
