DEPRESSION

By Kleins Dickson

Despair dangles in my dizzy eyes
Pain cold dances within my tempered heart
For hours am sinking in thoughts
As miles, I travel within my hindered body
Who Am I??

This cold silence drowns the better me
Eating and crushing away my sanity
Silently brushing hope and optimism
Why does it hurt so scary?

A smile is so precious
Yet on my side, it’s tied with depression
Laughter is blaring beautiful
But mine hides a million stories of pain
Until I cry out loud alone in the room

Sometimes I stare
Sometimes I sleep
Sometimes I appeal my happiness
Sometimes I wish
I wish fate couldn’t place me here
I wish tomorrow could be better

My own thoughts drown me
They choke me without mercy
And so in dark, I curl
My pillows wet again and again

A promise whispers deeper in me
Tomorrow is greater
Tomorrow I’ll smile again
Smile in happiness not pain
Tomorrow I’ll ink again
For me and myself only.
