Depression is my home

I linger in the dank halls of despair,

The walls damp and tattered like my mind,

Thick clouds of hatred choke me as my mind closes in on me,

My stomach churns as my tears fall,

Coated with acid my heart bleeds,

Depression spares no mercy to weak minds. 

My skin crawls with the sins of my past,

I feel unforgiven and left alone in the darkness,

Love is not found in these hallways,

Only anger and regret will accompany you,

As you stumble through. 

I hold on to my head and I hear her cry,

Still holding onto the mistakes I've made I punish myself,

My soul tears itself apart leaving it in disrepair,

Weak minded am I, I wander alone,

In the hallways,

Depression is my home.

This is amazing, I know this feeling a little too well, Depression is a monster and can ruin your life if you let it.

Easy to fall into depression. I like the flow of thoughts and the strong description in the poem.
"My skin crawls with the sins of my past,
I feel unforgiven and left alone in the darkness,"
Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

It might be dark, but it's also incredibly true. Depression feels like this a lot, and when you're in a den of depression that's settled around your entire spirit--a House of Depression, as it were--the hardest thing in the world is to open a window and let some sunlight in.
