the COLD DARK CORNER in my room

This poem is about a form of depression. Lack of love and attention. Having no one to talk to.

It’s a cold dark corner in my room

Where my sadness lies

I use it as a sanctuary

To let out all my cries

 

When I’m here, it’s us,

I’m alone

No one in my heart

No one in my home

 

I’m in this cold space

In a fetal position

Yearning for help

Yet subjecting to depression

 

It’s here for me everyday

It couldn’t leave if it tried

The only one I can depend on

Is this corner where I’ve cried

 

My hair is tangy,

My complexion sucks

I hate everything about me

Yet, this corner doesn’t give up

 

I have drowned in my tears

Suffered through my pains

Fought all my fear

But this cold corner is all I’ve gained

 

Depression is taking over

This lonely feeling is scary

This could never get any better

Death is talking to me

 

My tears are now frozen

From this cold corner where I lay

Nothing more I can do

Nothing more I want to say

 

Depression has lead me to this cold corner in my room

Where I have cried myself to death

This cold dark corner in my room

Is where I took my last breath

One could feel the pain, the message of loneliness was clear...feeling alone.
We all feel this way at some point, kind of 'nobody wants me" the key is to back bounce up. Whatever we feel is dependent on us. This writing was great
