Free??

This poem is so goddamn good that i don't even know where to start...minimal yet stronger than most poems i've read with 15 stanzas and 100, 10cent words that are meaninless, not one word in your poem is wasted, and i can relate to every one, so maybe i am biased, so...whatever, i simply loved this, and it's going in my favorites, you managed to knock me on my ass, and you get a bug ol' HELL YEAH! from me..

Very eloquent

This is very good.
I can tell that you're a true poet.
You don't have to think about, you write from the heart.

Short, but said alot, the ending summed it up good

Short, but still to the point. Depression is a tricky thing.

"Joy filled rooms and sun filled skies
bring no happiness to my eyes."
[^^I liked the opening. It makes it to where you can automatically tell the poem is about depression, which does not leave someone in a stat of confusion.]

"Darkened caves, black as night,
keep me from seeing light."
[^^Not quite as powerful as the first lines. Even though the syllables are the same in both lines, it still reads rocky. I think it is the second line that needs new wording. Maybe something like "Disable me from seeing the light". A better flow makes the poem seem less like the rhymes are forced.]

"Drowning in depression,
Overridden with obsession."
[^^I think these two lines need to be switched, and the maybe add something to it, since the lines are shorter than the others in the poem. Maybe something like:
"Overridden with obsession,
Drowning in my own depression"
Just a suggestion<HAHA THAT RHYMED TOO!]

"How to let everything go and be free
is a question that hangs over me."
[^^Again, it is a little rocky. It is also a question, so there needs to be a question mark. And technically it is two questions.
My suggestion for this would be something like:
"How do I let go? How do I get free?
Those are the questions that hang over me."]

Those are my thoughts on the poem. It is entirely up to you if you want to use them. Everyone will read this differently. I also suggest taking out the question marks in the title, or taking one of them out. In correct English you use only one question mark for a question.
Iwas honest, and gave it a 4/5.
