Depression That Came To Play

A Poem by Daddy Is Home

A slam poetry of a horse that was taken from me.

Before the sun comes up

Taking a trip to paradise

Standing in the darkness

All alone

Worrying that you wouldn’t show

The beat of my heart echoing

Choked by own thoughts

Without you my heart won’t stand a chance

They came with the lies

That they thought they could bury

Tension builds inside me

I have no place to hide

To scared to close my eyes

They spoke the truth

that has let the darkness out

Talking to my darkest shadows

Feeling like there are the mountains

Like I would fall

I chose to love and not to fear

But they had been chosen for me

They made mistakes

They can’t go back

Wondering how this moment came

Tell me I’m only dreaming

Standing alone in the shadows

I feel like I’m barely breathing

I didn’t need informing

It crushes me until i’m broken

With my shattered frame of mind

I walked amid the lines

I’m pretty sure I’m dead inside

And, as in proof

The tears come crashing down

No matter how hard I tried not to

I still came crashing down

My heart was like broken shards

I was so cold;

To the core

I’m falling like a frozen one

The monster in my head

Going out of control

Wishing you would have stayed

Waiting all alone

Can’t you see the mess I’m in?

They thought they knew

What was best for you

They ran your life

You shouldn’t have trusted them

I’ll never find love

With the new life given to me

I’m hanging weightless

Not knowing where to go from here

You’re the treasure in the sea to me

And in the name of love

I’ll be the sacrifice

When I’m lost

You bring me home

And when the night

Starts to feel like it’s closing in

You hold the light up

We were young and free

I wore my heart like a stupid grin

Even though life seems only an illusion

What we had was once in a lifetime

I’ve always loved you:

Ever since we shared the same air

I can’t be away from you

I need someone to wake me up

Before it’s too late;

Make my depression scatter away

And fall as if they made a mistake

But now you’ve been knocked out of this world

You’ve been knocked out of my world

My happiness ran away

And depression came to play

My life turned around

And went upside down

When I realized you were gone;

And not just for one day

Your existence is a myth

With all the lessons i've learned

And all the friends I turned

Nothing remained the same

When life seemed to rain

I’m burnt and empty,

My bones broken down

What was once feeling

Seems as though it has hit

The bottom of the ocean

Trapped inside a world of pain

That needed healing

I’m at the bottom wanting to move

But instead I’m drowning in these emotions

Sometimes I wonder

If I’m even alive

You were all I ever needed

And I never got to say goodbye;

You were like a mother to a child

Now I have holes where

Life was suppose to thrive

I can’t run away anymore;

They follow me wherever I go

I drink the pain like wine

And all I've left of my heart

Is like a lover gone too far

I can’t close my widened eyes

I’ve lost my hope

My body is shutting down

Even in paradise

The sun sets down

I’m clenching my fist one last time

To prove wrong from right

Will your eyes ever awake?

Well, dang. This is rather deep. There's a lot going on in this piece. There is some colorful imagery and many nice lines. I did notice 3 or 4 grammatical errors of which are minor. I definitely hope this piece doesn't reflect the author. While I like to remove the writer from their work sometimes when reading a piece we can't help but wonder if their writing is a cry for help. In any event, I hope this isn't the case, but if it is feel free to message me; a complete stranger. Haha. Sorry. I like to leave the door open for anyone who may be struggling. I'm interested in reading some of your prose if you have any. Keep up the work. :)
