10:58 (Drowning)

by KJ   Dec 30, 2009


Laying here, drowning in lonliness;
depression taking me under.

Insane illusions entering my brain;
staring at nothing in wonder.
My thoughts are taking control,
while my body is falling prey.
I no longer have control
I no longer have a say.
I am searching here and there;
praying for an escape.
I just wanted to be loved
But now the pain is too much to take.
I've lived this life with no one;
and that is the way I shall leave.
Maybe one day you will see
that in you I truly believed...
But you have let me down,
broken my heart for the last time.
Beat me down and cursed me out,
bringing darkness over my sunshine.
And now I am...

Laying here, drowning in lonliness;
depression taking me under.

    Very emotional poem, great job. The only line that knocked me out of rhythm "Bring darkness over my sunshine." Perhaps you can word that differently.

    I think everyone feels depressed and lonely from time to time, that feeling you have when the world seems out of reach. All it takes is a little hope and soon somebody comes along and makes you feel like your on top of the world. Excellent job I really enjoy the way you express your feelings in love.... lets the reader into your heart 5/5

    A so very depressing poem and in life unfortunately we have downs with our ups but usually it becomes a balance and hopefully you with have an up soon. Nicely written poem but there are a few on this site that are excellent because they are stronger on this subject. Good 4/5 Ray S

    Oh, I really like this. The flow was nice, although I think it could a little better word choice. you know something to spice up the wording a little. Still not bad, but this is a piece most everyone can relate to.. If your dealing with this, I hope things get better
