Depression

Dark, depressing.

Slowly take my wretched pain away

I cannot bare another hopeless day

Go passed the barrier where you reach me

Part like Moses and the deep red sea

 

I an not strong enough to live like this

Silently breathing, it's nothing to miss

My thoughts say yes, but my heart says not yet

I am no meant for the happiness I get

 

Cutting deeper, deeper; make me bleed

Play a song on my wrists; it's what I need

Pull tightly on my sleeves so the marks won't show

No one can see the scars or else they'd know

 

I can't so anything new; I've tried it all

I don't need anyone to catch me when I fall

Pretend that everything is okay, I try

I'll numb the pain until the day I die

Dark, abandoned subway station feel. Beautiful imagery

Haunting poem, hate to hear about cutting and depression :( I really loved the simile "Part like Moses and the deep red sea", just reading it again I also like the double meaning linking to the blood. Brilliant write, good job!
