Darkest Day

Something I wrote spur of the moment a while back....

On my darkest day theres no hope for sanity

I fall further into the blackness with every breath I take

I close my eyes

Let tears fall down my face

Ball my fists up in my hair

And cringe at the pain I've caused myself.

On my darkest day I blame no one but myself

I can't function right, can barely move

My mind is lost,  swimming in lies, regrets, guilt, and mistakes

While my body is limp, helpless, and weak

I long for someone to pick me up and save me from this pain

But on my darkest day I ask for no help

For I have brought this on myself

And I won't allow for someone to take my hand and pull me up from the dark

No one to make me open my eyes

No one to wipe my tears

No one to heal the pain

Because this pain cannot be healed, only forgotten for a time

Until the blackness pulls me under again.....

 

Author's Note

I started writing this a while ago then stopped and planned to add more to it over time, but I came across it again just recently and thought I'd post it to see what people think....

Wow.. not that is a really dark feeling poem! Such fierce emotions pouring out.. if reality it makes my heart go out to you.. if creatively written it sure captures some pretty intense feeling of a drowning depression.. we all have moments whereby we feel a little down... you show great release and ending with "until the blackness pulls me under again".. hopefully not too soon again! Horrible that so many suffer from forms of these emotions.. I get some seasonal blues.. it can be pretty intense but not to the level you have written. Crying can be a great way though to release.. but music usually helps me to release the stress. Thank you for sharing.. this was really well-penned!

Sounds like a description of depression, which is a pretty harsh ailment. You did a great job at describing a feeling of hopelessness and frustration. Very descriptive.
