Black as rolling thunder
Depths deeper than the sea
Tsunami of depression
When will I be free

Foul prison of despair
In icy chains you hold me
Yet I don't belong here
This really isn't me

Tentacles of darkness
You grasp and hold me down
You drain away my confidence
And leave me with a frown

Icy finger of self doubt
You plague my every thought
Feed me with your poison lies
Until your truth I've bought

Chains wrapped in velvet
weights to aid my fall to hell
Purposely you destroy me
And leave a walking shell

And yet inside I'm screaming
Don't want to buy your lies
Don't want to look in the mirror
And see the good things die

I don't deserve depression
Don't want a life that's sad
I yearn for joy and happiness
I hate to feel so bad

The real me is trapped below
In darkness thick as water
How I long to break the surface
Where the air is so much purer

I love to eat and drink and laugh
To live and love with passion
To smile and be with those I love
Beneath bright shining sun

So if you're listening God above
I need some help to break this chain
Help me be just who I am
And walk away from this dark pain....

That's a really sad and simultaneously really beautiful poem. It makes me sad because I know how it feels like and I don't wish it on anyone. But I think that it's possible to fight it - and yeah, writing helps, too =). I hope you feel better now and that it helps that there are people who think that your art is amazing.
