Lost in thought
I spin around
I try to think
My mind is shattered

Falling lightly
Breathing fast
Remnants of my battered past

I pull in closer
hug myself tighter
wishing it would go away
that all the pain would cease

I fall apart
The tears flow freely
For once I know
I'm real and living

I don't understand
why this is my life
why must I always deal
in a way that nobody else comprehends.

Every day,
I am forced to look at myself in the mirror
See my perpetual differences
Not knowing how to be different

I am stuck in this cloud
Looking through the black
But as many people know
All you can see in the dark is more dark.

When things are the worst,
when things are the darkest
all you can see
is an envelope of black

surrounding you like a blanket
consuming you like it had never eaten
tearing your feelings
until you can't feel

taking your life away
Not letting you breathe
This is depression, and unfortunately
It's a huge part of me.....
