depressed (Free verse) by PhSbLoNdE569

Depression is black, filling my head, dulling my sight Feeling alone, tuning all out, sleeping all night When you cant save yourself from the neverending black sea Of thoughts that you wish would escape and just leave You want your mind to recover, willing to die for this I long for the thoughts, gone so long, i think i miss Sometimes i know i want to feel sad, but not this bad Not crying for no reason, just a little darkness and to be a little mad I need to leave this phase, this darkness and stress i need to think of myself, but i realize im too depressed
