Why, oh why, am I here
within these dark walls?
Did I do something wrong,
that now I deserve this?
I keep sinking deeper
even though I want out,
I'm not me anymore,
I'm not anybody.
I feel dead but I have a pulse
I want to scream
but what use would it be?
I'm scared,
I don't want to lose myself,
I loved myself,
but now
I am sinking,
drowning
away.

Geez, Gloria.. get a grip! What could have ever provoked you to write this? This is fiction, right?

Hi Lost Dreamer,

I am just going to tell you hello, some times I don't get the meaning of a poem, and I don't want to say the wrong thing, So I will be seeing you soon OK.

Wow, you did well sharing the emotions that go right along with what I call depression.  I too, have found myself "sinking away"....That's about the time you feel you've reached the bottom.  You've done wonderfully with this...I can relate.  If this is real life, and you need someone to talk to, I have big ears, ok girl?  Remember that.

Doreen: Thanks for reading.

Cerenity-1: Thanks for reading and responding, I am explaining below  

Femme:Thanks for reading and responding   You hit the nail on the head, thank God I was at the bottom I could not have taken much more, first time for everything I guess, and I had a special online friend coaching me through it all the way, another thing I was thankful for. Thank you for your kindness and offer, I will remember in the future if I become overwhelmed.
