Sinking hole

Poem I wrote when I was at a dark place. It's about depression.

Somewhere deep in all of us

There's that dark place

That keeps getting a bigger mass

That has a face

 

It's scarier than any horror story

It's worse than any disease

It doesn't know the word sorry

All it does is increase

 

It takes a hold of you

And it doesn't let go

It stops you at anything you want to do

The worst part is that you don't let it show

 

You fall into bottomless pit

And there are little creatures at the end

Nothing is lit

You can't stand

 

They have bright red eyes and slim black body

And teeth sharp like a knife

And they're waiting for you

Waiting...

 

And you're scared

Scared more than ever

But there's nothing you can do

 

And that's the sinking hole

That's taking over me.

Indeed! I agree with you and can relate to this. I have been there many times myself. You expressed that dark place really well with excellent imagery.
Great writing!
