A word of warning, this (as the header states) is a possible repost from Dark Passion 2. I don't actually remember posting it, but my memory does fail me.

Anyway, enjoy. And no, I am not suicidal

Look Down

I look down at my feet
Trying to avoid their eyes.
Hiding away in dark corners,
Pretending not to cry.
I always feel sorry,
Not for others, for myself.
I'm in a state of depression
With lack of mental health.
I'm considering killing myself
But I don't want to die.
But it seems to me,
My only option
Can be suicide.

Depression can drive a man
To things he shouldn't do;
Like Dope and Speed and Ecstasy,
Which ends up hurting you.

I'm locked away, deep in my mind
I'm crazy as can be.
I'm sorry for all I've done
I truly am, you see.

If I could have a choice
Of never living, not at all
I'd take it quick, right in a flash
And that would end it all.

Come to me
Kill for me
Worship me.
Follow everthing I do
Act it out before me

Skoota,
thanks for posting this; repost or not it's a thoughtful piece. I liked it the hopelessness of depression clearly came through.
Be well in hell

This is a nice piece.  But not my kind of taste.  Tahnks

In life things come and go. Live and die. Prosper and fall. But our love and poetry will always carry on.
