Sleep

Sleep

A Poem by Obscured by the Shadows

Always tired, 

it's dragging me down. 

Never fully awake, 

I'm about to drown.

It's hard to remember, 

it's constant blur. 

Feels like slow motion, 

but I can't be sure. 

I just need a break,

 a helping hand. 

A little bit of sleep, 

would be so grand.

Very excellent portrayal of how depression can feel. I love the way this message is short & tight, no fanfare, but just enuf of the details to make it completely relatable. Sometimes poetic devices can distract, but your poem just goes straight in for the vivid view & no adornments. Love that. Works perfectly for this message.

India is quite the distance from here, I have never been there, but have always wanted to visit.
