Dead of Night

Dead of Night

A Poem by Cherrie Palmer
"

depression

"

Longest day, darkest night, said so often in the dead of night.


No reflection in my soul, no memory to hold on.


Light of day, stings my eyes, like statue of clay, I look stone cold.


Longest day, darkest night, said so often in the dead of night.

Depression, it does feel like the dead of night. Even the days feel like covered with darkness... And as you said the light of day does sting to eyes being under the clutch of depression...

Sincerely
