Dark is the night , heavy this pain I bear
Empty feelings , black thoughts emotions flair.
The pain is eating me up pounding in my head
Evil, sugar sweet voices tell me I’d be better off dead!
I cannot breath my chest is too tight
The horrors crawl towards me every night
They engulf my very essence strangle my soul
The rip me open and devour me whole.
So dark the night so dark my soul in such plight
I need someone to find me and lead me to the light.
One more cut, one more pill, I pray it will be my last
My ugly face, my ugly body into the black pit be cast.
Cut my arms until they bleed
Cover them up to hide my need.
Have another drink and take more pills
Fall into oblivion to escape my ills.

For those suffering with depression

Depression is the hidden enemy it strikes whenever and wherever it wants to and there is no protection.
Nov 06, 2015 @ 23:12:15
It’s so true. Sometimes just making it through the day is a struggle. ❤️

Yes and it affects so many! ❤

Depression is a merciless murderer of joy… I know this dark place, a bad place to stay. ❤

This might be for you given the synchronicity – Sometimes, you need to propel yourself from within the deepest waters and rise through the fiercest flames to see beyond the flesh the driving force of the thought. Hearts in stillness see beyond the veils

Yes Geetha that is very true. xxxx
